    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Hey, apart from India and South Africa, you could do them all in one trip. I assume you mean Luxembourg when mentioning The bowels of hell.

    It would be a shame to go so far as India and not hit other places in Asia. Surely if you got that far you could also muster Vietnam, Korea and PI.

    Also, what happened to Australia?

    It's true, gas and cigarettes are pretty cheap in hell.

    I could argue the pro's and cons of your different choices, but I see that you put Holland above Belgium so I'm reasonably satisfied. I'd put the bowels of hell next to Holland, though.

    What's wrong with you, you just have to get used to be looking at starving people while you are eating oh so generous. India is really a class society, there is absolutely no pity for the poor

    It is indeed - I am working near Delhi this week and going outside to grab some lunch today was a bit like visiting a sauna.

    Otherwise quite and intereisting experience though.

    I will add you to my list of Orgahs who have visited India post haste.

    What place near Delhi are you at?

    Also for the record this is monsoon season. The rains tend to lower the temperature, although they increase the humidity.
    Either way if you think this is hot, you should've tried coming here in the month of May. That's peak of summer.

    Hailing from boomtown Gurgaon (in a pretty drúnken state I might add - to anyone who thinks most Indians are angti-alcoholic vegetarians: think again)

    Monsoon seems to have been quite a disappointment in this region this year - hardly any rain so far and temperatures today have been in the 35-40°C range (although it seems that I am lucky compared to a colleague who has been here 2-3 weeks ago)

    Nevertheless, I am havimg a blast so far

    to India

    to India
    Texas is almost like India when it comes to hot temperatures. SFTS's reaction would be, "it's hot," not "I ain't NEVER comin' back. Ever" hot.

    Here's my recommendation for places to visit according to my experience and a few from what I heard:

    For Historic Buildings:

    -Paris, France

    -Prague, Czech Republic

    -Bath and London, England

    -Beijing and Xian, China

    -Angkor Wat, Cambodia (Indiana Jones style of adventure)


    For Nature:

    -anywhere in New Zealand

    -anywhere in Switzerland

    -Scandinavia (especially the fjords)

    -Australia (just watch out for the poisonous wildlife and plants)

    -Venezuela and Bolivia (from what I saw in magazines and online. I haven't been to those two countries).

    -Southwestern China

    -Madagascar (I haven't been there. I heard that Madagascar has beautiful nature sceneries).


    For Hot Women

    -Kiev, Ukraine (with good nightlife)

    -Stockholm, Sweden

    -Moscow, Russia

    -Seoul, Gwangju and Busan (Haeundae Beach during the summer), South Korea (with good nightlife)

    -Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin, Germany (with good nightlife)

    -Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Vietnam (with good nightlife)

    -Ulan Bator, Mongolia (at the clubs)

    -France (if you go out of the tourist areas. You'll see more tourists than locals in the tourist areas).


    And here's a link for the top 10 cities for shopping. -> http://www.gadling.com/2010/07/19/to...-for-shopping/

    Moskow is great if you want too see hot women, but you have to be filthy rich to actually get them. That city is outragiously expensive on all levels. Skip it.

    There's a huge gap between the rich and poor in Russia. In other words, there are also cheap prices for the not-so-rich in Moscow, although some don't have good quality. The cheap foods are clean and decent.
    I found a really cheap hostel near the Red Square and the Kremlin. It's called the A la Russe Hotel & Hostel. This left me enough money for tourism.
    If all Russian girls only look for wealthy men, then a great majority of Russian men would be unable to find a girlfriend, which isn't the case. And there aren't enough wealthy men in Moscow for all the hot Russian women. Ok, I traveled at other Russian places besides Moscow, so I had a bigger chance. Still, one of things that I noticed about Russian women is that they're quite friendly. I made friends with some Russian girls and men on the Trans-Siberian Railway. It's such a huge country so it takes days to travel across. Passengers who don't know each other become friends during that long length of time. You'll be suprised if you go there. The Russian gold diggers and the ones you see on international dating sites aren't the only Russian women out there.
