This started with a trip to India with a Rotary Group. We vaccinated kids against polio and saw some sights along the way. And as usual I had done very little research about India, so really, what DID I get myself into?
The rest of my travels are in the same vein, I often have NO IDEA what to expect. I think I prefer it that way!
India is a beautiful symphony of chaos. You have to go with it, forget everything you've known from your home life and surrender to India. Don't resist. Embrace the crazy. Then you can truly enjoy the experience. I certainly did.
