The advantage of having guests is that you go and do things you normally do not do...we went to the Nigamboth Ghat with our friend Peter, and as our new driver dropped us in a different spot than normally we had to walk through an unknown area. But what a discovery! The area itself was filthy, wet and lined with people sleeping on riksha's, but we also found little shops selling flower beads to honour the deceased (the Nigamboth ghat is where the Hindu's cremate their dead).

And what beautiful people can one find in such a little remote place! they all wanted us to take their pictures and then showed our camera's around to everyone (leaving us to wonder if that was the last we saw of our camera's, but luckily it was not).

Now that we have moved to a more livable house (although the neighbours are still extremely noisy) India is actually starting to become fun!
