India’s most bizarre temple

India’s most bizarre temple

India is a wired/ bizarre place even for Indians themselves.

We went to a very special temple in north of India in Rajestan, me Cath and big monkey anj.

I forgot the temple’s name but let’s call it the Rat’s temple, there are in this small temple 21,000 holy rats running all over, just everywhere!! You standing there and they try to claiming on you, the smell in the air is just hard to describe, it’s like the new perfume from the house of C.K..

As you must take off your shoes at the entry, you can’t avoid the fresh poo (kaki) that on the floor stuck under your feet and between your tawos, so you just get use to it..

The rats are so holy that the local must feed them, look after them and just make sure that they all having good life.

It’s hard to describe the chaos in side the temple via the photos, I wish the buttery wasn’t dead so I could do a video, (actually anj got the video of it, if she put it on.. check www.tastymap.blogspot.com ).

Back in Perth now, will see you all soon

Some randoms from india/sri lanka






Well, not really killed


About the “almost killed in bus-track accident":
Well, not really killed,
We crossed India from goa (west coast) to Chennai (east coast), we should spent about 24 hours in 2 busses, the first bus from goa was o.k in Indian scale, although somebody else took our original sitts and didn’t want to move the mother fucker!!
Than we chanched a bus (sleeper bus) to Chennai, all went smooth and even the bus went on the best Indian freeway to Chennai, at 3am the bus had a flat tire, so instead of pulling to the side and fix it there, the driver decided to block the lane of the freeway and to fix it in the middle of the free way.
After about 40seconds huge BANG!!, a truck that didn’t see the bus just hit us from the back, could be a lot worse, lucky no one was hurt badly.

Can’t wait to get on the next bus ride, telling ya I miss so much to the Transperth drivers (city zone/free zone) “HOW ARE YA MATE..?”



Found this shop in Sri Lanka on the way to the south, but the parts are made in Japan
