Anywhoo....
India was incredible, enriching in so many ways. So much culture and history and then there's the breath taking scenery, the colours, the people and fresh naan bread! YUM. And the downside...the dirty, stinky, overcrowded part, and let's not forget the poverty. It's an eye opener. It makes you realize how wealthy you actually are. You definitely gotta be open minded if you plan to go to India. But I think it's one of those trips that everyone should get to experience for the themselves at some point in their lives. I believe we all need a change of perspective once in while, we need to see with different eyes...
Here's a little taste of what I saw with my eyes...
