29/10/2009 - Momos...yummy!

Pilanitas everyday meal in McLeod Ganj:) chocolate momos for brekkie, spinach for lunch and potato garlic with cheese for dinner.. surrounding by Buddhists Pilanita has the feeling that in the next life will come back as a big, fat MOMO

29/10/2009 - Momos party

Momos are like dumplings (better than pierogis/empanadillas), could be filled with spinach, veg, potato, mutton (buffalo) and... chocolate.

29/10/2009 - The day of Tibetan couisine

Pilanita is doing her best to prepare tsamba-traditional Tibetan food highly recommended by our students - Tibetan monks:) Ready to be served in 5 mints (faster than Mc Donalds and more healthy).

28/10/2009 No sorry, no thank you, breakfast, luch, dinner is good.... :)

... and we really recommend this place. If you go to Agra go straight there from Taj Mahal, don't get involved in any scum...

28/10/2009 Karma Cola...

McLeod Ganjs is full of cool 'spiritual tourist' and other crazy hippie fuckers playing Indian guitar and singing out of tune about life and death and nirvana. Sitting at the front of the people touched by deep spirituality Pilanita reached real enlightenment, burst into tears laughing...

27/10/2009 Indian Advert...

Buy like British
Pay like Chinese
Feel like Indian

:) :) :)

27/10/2009- Very lucky bus service

Take it easy on the road in India. Small accident made us stuck in the traffic for hours, but everybody was happy-go-lucky:)

20/10/2009 - Madam, madam..

Pilanita is facing the first attack of "pushy fellow" who wants to offer the great deal- trekking in Kashmir. They don't mind we will be exposed to the millions of "armed to teeth" soldiers;) hanging around over there...

20/10/209 - Lonely Planet: Our Bible

This guide has a great power... This is a very good guidebook, but every tourist in India has it, so they end up going to the same places, eating the same food and sleeping in the same dodgy but with 'good karma' hostels.

26/10/2009- Speechless....

Our best wishes for Kamini and her daughters: Tanja and Tishi and nephew Krish. The time with them and the hospitality was unique.

26/10/2009 Waiting for His Holiness...

Dalai Lama came for a tea (masala tea) to meet Pilanita and say hello to the rest of monks. Worth waiting!

25/10/2009 Our daily activity!

Thats how we felt today- no worries, just sunbath at the Himalayas.

25/10/09 Simply the best

The view from our tarrace (its not so posh as it sounds;)- we have no hot water:) and its freeeeeezing man;) (pronounced in an Irish way) at on Himalayas Mountain in the McLeod Ganj. After 8 hours in a bus and a fight in Chandigarh with drunk guy this view has real calming effect.

24/10/2009 Chandigarh

New, modern city and very modern citizens. And a park- as artificial as the city.

24/10/2009 The train in India

Sit wherever you find room, but honestly that's a great place to learn about Indian culture by talking with people. It's so crowded that interaction is necessary.

23/10/2009. The real Paharganj.

Just a walk from main bazaar and we have found the true picture of Paharganj. Nice and open and always smiley people very happy to help:)

23/10/2009 cow- the most popular pet in India

If the cow drinks the water from the Delhi's street and looks pretty healthy (?) why should we be worried about it?

22/10/2009 - Tips for travellers in India: Lesson One

First tip for people travelling to India- forget European politeness- the concept of queuening doesn't exist. Somebody in Taj Mahal said to trapped in crowd poor Pilanita: 'you have push them if you want to go out!" so she did separating a poor child from his mum!

22/10/2009: The importance of being Pilanita...

Wikipedia: Pilanita is a famous traveller born in India in 1982/83. She has bipolar personality. Sometimes says is Spanish sometimes Polish. The language used by Pilanita is known as Sponglish (no?) and only herself (themselves) is (are) able to understand. Pilanita's philosophy is being spread around the world as a swine flue.

21/10/2009: The Elephant Man...

Indian people love having the picture taken. We were surrounded by dozen of Indian people within a second since we started taking photos of Red Fort in Delhi. Being white women in India is like being an "elephent man" (expression used by Austrian guy we met on the road) because it makes people laught or being curious or is just an expression of 'love to foreigners' (as was told by Sanksrit lecturer we have met in the Agra-Delhi train:) what's the real reason? we don't have a clue.

21/10/2009 - Chadni Chow (Old Delhi)

In the middle of the chaos, the riksha puller won the competition with autoriksha driver over our souls'- God save him!(we were nearly thinking that we are overweight;) Poor guy! Only God knows how we have survived in this crazy trafic. There is no rules neither traffic lights nor brakes. Only the strongest can survive (and cows and a dog without a leg).
