I went to India in 2000. Same impression as you and the same shit. I see nothing has changed ... enlightenment-seeking loser westerners believing they are closer to Nirvana than anybody else and a bunch of hippies wanna bees. What a shithole. Come to Krabi dude... let's do some climbing. Great post. I went to India in 2000. Same impression as you and the same shit.

You mean to tell me that all this time I've been telling Kristine that one day you're gonna come back through the states and teach us how to expand our spiritual horizons, but instead you're just as bitter and cynical as when you left??? I swear to Captain Kirk, you better crack open a fortune cookie and take some notes or I'm puttin' foot to ass. You're sleeping on the floor. Hold the fucking phone.

I just wish I had the nerve to do it. The wife and I do have a plan though. Here is wishing you a safe and happy trip. Well, that was very entertaining. I just wish I had the nerve to do it.

I am not one of those travelers who buys into the myth of the "real India." but the one thing I have learned in India is that people are the same wherever you are, with the same hopes, dreams, desires, hates, and loves. it's true that westerners romanticize India. as I said in a post, just read an Indian newspaper every day and your rose colored glasses will fall off very quickly. just stay away from goa, dude. now THOSE hippies would scare even me! ha! hey, even I hate India sometimes, and to me it is a second home…..I could not wait to get back from this trip.
