awesome! i wasn't sure anyone was reading my travel posts. glad someone enjoys reading them as much as i enjoying writing them!
to answer your question: india always felt like one of those last hidden frontiers for me. i've been very lucky to have a traveled a lot in my life, and india was becoming one of those places that scared me and enticed me at the same time. my initial travel plan was to just go to south east asia (a place i've been to several times) but once you start looking at a map, it's easy to just think "well hell, india is only a little bit farther, and you've never been there. go for it!" so that was my basic logic.
i've started reading @barge 's stuff. i love it! thanks for tip! and i'll keep posting more blogs from my india trip, as well as the second half of the trip, through SE asia. hope you can keep reading them and enjoying them! either way, i'll tip my sunday morning coffee to you! thanks for reading and listening and being awesome! cheers!
