Wow! You description was so vivid, I found myself sitting there in India with you :D You definitely have some talent in writing, but I am not the first one to point out, am I. Czechs tend to be very silent in mass transport, we often almost whisper. I wonder whether it is a reminder of Communist times, but I definitely haven't thought about it like this...
ubiquit Thanks! hope I didn't offend any one ;) In one way though I like the silent, organized way of traveling, but on the flip side, sometimes I feel that a lit' giggle here and there, and an occasional guffaw will add a lot of audible color to already colorful ambience!!
