India changed my life, what about yours?

This intercultural blog is aimed to be a point of convergence between new and old India travelers, it will allow the new comers to have real experiences available in order to enrich their expectations and make their own contributions. Not only foreign travelers will write and post their pictures, but also will involve the local´s point of view. We have invited a bunch of Indians to collaborate and omment on the travelers’ anecdotes.based on history and cultural background.

Fabi! I have added a picture of the mosque, having to take our shoes off every time we entered a temple was quite hard at the first time, but we got quite good at it by the end of the trip :-) I will write about that in a next post.

Oh! yes!! to us (the group of Chileans), it was very shocking to have to take our shoes off to walk into an open place and under the rain....

reactions were diverse: "I will not do that", "what if something bad happens?" "what if we loose our shoes" "not confident"... I would say that out of a group of 11 people, may be 2 didn't mind. Although we just made the right decision: took our shoes off and got in the Mosque.
