Back to India.
Well, apparently I lost a bet that I don't remember making--cuz' I'm headed back to Southern India on 3-7 to do some work.
The first time I was there I had access to YORF, but the last two times I didn't, so I may be out of the loop for a couple of months. If you're curious, I'm going to Tiruchipalli (or "Trichy"--to the locals) in the state of Tamil Nadu. It's about 10 degrees north of the equator and it's never below 95 F day or night. Desparate poverty, malaria, typhoid, dengue fever, cholera, rabies, and accidents are pretty much the norm there. I've never gotten sick or injured there fortunately--but ONLY because I'm very careful. When I was there in 2010, the guy I was working with ate "something bad" and was so sick he could have s**t through a screen door at 50 yards.

That's funny- the stable half and I travel a bit, and we were talking just yesterday that India is a place neither of us ever need to visit. Have a safe trip, stick to the "Taj Mahal", it's better than the "Flying Horse".

We joked that Trichy was so named because of a certain little buddy you could pick up quite easily in the region. You going to the HAPP?

The "taj" is too far away to visit on this trip, besides I don't care to visit it--or any other muslim mausoleum.

Ah, so. There's a couple of decent beer brands in Trichy: Kingfisher and Calyanni(sp?). And yes, that's Kingfisher--as in the airline.
Now as far as liquor goes, I'll either have to hit the duty free store in Brussels for Scotch on my way there or do without. I can testify the local "hooch" in Trichy is quite nasty and dangerous. My eyesight DID eventually return, though.

I think I would rather take an equal time stretch in Cell Block D of the Local JAIL instead of ever having to be anywhere near that pit that is about 125 years behind the USA in just rudimentary sanitation procedures.
