And doesn't that sound like I want you to buy a carpet? You made the right decision to skip Kolkata. I know your friend lives there and she likes it, but it was a mindfeck. I should have realised it when I read that Kolkata calls itself the 'City of Joy'. There's always a bit of irony in these municipal pronouncements. Cork's 'European Capital of Culture' springs to mind, as does Temple Bar's 'Left Bank of Dublin'. But I was tired and didn't think quick enough. So I left and after a hellish journey made it to Darjeeling. Nice, nice, nice. Good climate, high in the hills, Himalayas visible in the mornings - my first time seeing Everest. Will probably press on into Nepal in a few days, but amn't really sure. Anyway, it was nice meeting you and I'll be checking up on your blog during my trip and beyond. Hope you have a ball and your stomchs stay stable. Mine's not. Shane Hey you two, It’s Shane - the Irish guy you met in Delhi who was going to Kolkata?
