Pink, it's my new obsession

So we ended up staying in Jaïpur a little longer than anticipated. Man came down with a bad case of something we hope isn't malaria, and we had to cancel (or rather, not show up and lose all our money due to indianrail's SHITTY customer-service) our tickets to Udaipur. We also had to move out of the hostel we loved since we hadn't pre-booked and the owners were decent enough people to honour the bookings they allready had in. So after a few days of moping around alone I noticed that the middle east and India had more in common than great food and weather, as more and more young men from all castes and classes decided to show me that men will be pervs whereever you go. One was even gracious enough to speed-cycle after my cycle-rickshaw while offering to 'pit his taunge' 'in mi vigine'. Which resulted in my short fuse to blow off in a marketplace where it's probably not concidered very ladylike to flip someone off while screaming like a maniac.

So, after 2-3 nights in a dirty little place with a squat-toilet and annoying neighbours, we took in to a nicer hotel for a night before getting on a plane to Goa yesterday. So far this place is highly overrated, concidering we're not druggies. Man is still not feeling too great, and we're being offered drugs whereever we go, aswell as the general hassle to buy stuff. My pale-ness is also a subject often inviting to questions, since we haven't really seen the sun 'till now. Too much techno/trance/hippies/drugs makes mee feel like an old hag, when I would really just like a nice and more 'family-friendly' place. We have to get on the road again tomorrow, since our hostel doesn't have any openings, but we haven't decided if we're leaving for Hampi or trying to find another lpace around goa we like better. We're catching the wednessday flea-market before we go anywhere though, that's all we know.

Oh, and we've also accidently stopped smoking and drinking, even the man. Don't know what happened, but it's probably good for us. Let's see how long it lasts.
