Day 1: This is the plane I made the majority of my flight on, from LAX to Dehli. This picture was taken during a stopover in Frankfurt, Germany.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pic 2: Fun at the Hookah bar with colleagues
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3: a bamboo and rope bridge near work, the closest way for me to get over the canal that divides the Salt Lake City district with a major street.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4: Kali temple (with Shiva Temple, and others) next door to the bar I frequent, interestingly named "The California Bar"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5: Old wrecked and abandoned car. It looks in perfect place and oddly beautiful to me.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6: Swastikas are everywhere. It's nice to see them without Western neuroticism attached.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7: This is a major thoroughfare. Still, chaos reigns. Bike messengers, rickshaws, pedestrians, dogs, goats, and cows (oh my!) compete with the vehicle that the road is designed for.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------8: They throw trash around everywhere over here. That's the only thing I don't like so far. To get some perspective, this is a picture of a BANK.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9: Enjoying a beer and some chicken masala. They re-use a lot of newspaper, which is totally awesome. Here it keeps the beer cold. If the food product is not wet, they make little boats out of the newspaper to put food in for carry away. For wet things they use handmade mudbrick pots of various sizes. That way they can be tossed on the ground and still be ok, as they are biodegradable. Sounds WAY better than paper bags and styrofoam or waxed paper....

10. Since I was drinking beer in the car, being used to America, I was on the lookout for pigs. I was told though that the police are generally very nice and respectful around here. But, pigs were nearby anyway.... What a bunch of boars.... Not bad since I was going hog-wild.
and with that, the premier page has come to a close. Bonne nuit!!
