Buses and Indians

I have suggested a few negative things about Indians in prior posts but that is not entirely fair. Yesterday we missed the direct bus from Periyar to Allepey so we got on a bus in the same general direction. Upon arrival in that intermediate town (and after another bone crunching bus trip), we were told a direct connection to Allepey was not possible and we needed two more buses. It was a bit unsettling but a combination of helpful state bus employees and locals got us here safely. Thanks to them.

Spreaking of the state, Kerala has long been led by the democratic Indian Communist Party. Interesting to see its hammer and sickle everywhere.

  1. Told you he was a commie. Of course it has "long been led" by the Party - that misplaced "democratic" is always the give away.

  2. Great posts Jason, please keep them coming! Any pics from the cruise? Also, there is no way our favorite project at work will be done before you return.
