No sleepa train .... no problem

This post is coming to you via Buddy system, Britt and Tee!
India is one of the most beautiful places either one of us have ventured too. As roomies we have experienced many different things as a team. This has happened through learning how to work the toilet system to haggling children. As of right now we are in Varnasi overlooking the Ganges river. Compared to Delhi and Agra which we have already visited, this is a much more peaceful city and one of the most holly places in India. Today we ventured to many sights including a wonderful Tibetan Monastary. As of now we have tried many different cuisines, but mostly toast all types of toast: Toast, butta toast, jam toast, butta jam honey toast, Butta cheese toast, cheese tomato toast, and butta honey toast. Most of all we have loved every experience and laughed hysterically about every incident, there truly is no way we could mention everything we have seen or done or heard! Thankfully we have taken many pictures to share with everyone. So this most likely will be the longest post because we are wasting ruppeeeess by the minute, in which we could be using to buy you something... sike !
India is magnificent, but there have been a few problems
1. The sleeper train was a horrible, especially for Tee. The night began by hopping train track, escaping mangy dogs, and a never ending marriage proposal for poor sadaf. After finally getting on the train we realize that six of us are packed into a small compartment like sardines with are only protection being Arron. As we are amazed at where we are about to sleep we get laughed at by two "sleeper" regulars in our car, being made fun is pretty common over here. Tee was unable to sleep on the train due to strangers looking at her through the window, freezing because she had no blanket, and was utterly pissed because the train wouldn't stop shaking and the toilet was a squatting hole with no "TP". Early in the morning the idea of the language barrier became very apparent, when the train Chai Tea man demanded us pay him triple the cost of the Tea while still asking for more. All in all to make a sleeper train pleasurable you need not to venture to a bathroom and take many sleeping pills and never buy the Chai Tea.
2. Britt has decided that Driving anything like a rickshaw, bike, or car in India is strictly for those who want to die. I can only describe these drivers to adrenaline junkies, who live to scare the hell out of us foreigners. I actually think i would have less fear jumping out of an airplane because unlike the cars they have less liabilities. There is no such hing as licenses, traffic police, Speeding tickets, speed limits, distinct lanes, or Street lights. This is the only place i have been where it is more suitable to hit a person then an animal laying in the street. The only time i feel any of us have been truly silent has been in the car or bus rides solely from fear of killing someone or ourselves.
3. There is more feces than anyone can truly handle here. As the cows, dogs, goats, pigs, peacocks, chickens, birds, monkeys, and humans roam the street they leave everything to "mellow" in the streets and walkways.
love and peace from the other side of the Orb
