Female view of a male India
When you travel as a lone female, normally you get treated very well and with great respect but you do tend to miss out on the 'male way of travelling'. Most of the fun of this trip has been that Jim has enabled me to see a completely different side to travelling, one that boys see....
One of theses event happened the other night when Jim took me to a bar. We have been to bars before and they have ranged from 5* where we get popodums, fruit and lots of snacks with our beers to the bar parlour in Varkala.
This particular bar was down a back alley (I know, I should have known what was coming?) We entred this dark, messy hole and took a rickaty seat in the corner. Jim went to the bar as I was being stared at from all corners, as I was the only girl, again. Rum was about 5pence for a double and a big beer about 20pence. A group sat next to us drinking 'xxx sexy boy' rum, mixed with beer started to talk to us. They were hysterical, we discussed cricket, football and beer. The bar filled up with all the beggers and all the rickshaw drivers that had hasseled us from outside .
When we left we had a hearty fairwell and as we walked home one of the Rickshaw drivers stopped to offer us a free ride home - how cool. They still reconise us on the street and usually we are on the bikes!!

fi also observed that every person in the bar had a moustache.. not sure whether to feel nervous about that :)
