2 dudes from the Czech Republic, a Japanese man, a man from Hyberdad, a man from Delhi, a Tibetan cab driver, and an American woman walk into a guest house in Nubra Valley. The guest house owner says, "you guys fight over those 3 rooms, this room is the 'the lady'". :)
I went to Nubra Valley, a UNESCO heritage site, for a 2-day whirlwind tour with a motley crew of total clowns. It was beautiful, but the road was bumpy and scary and I understand now the warning about kareening off the side of Indian mountain roads! Holy hell, a 1.25-wide road with no guard-rail and a plummet to quick dispatch. But, happily, back in one piece. I learned that I know less about American history and politics than I should! I also learned that our elections make us look very religious. Manoj, from Hyberdad, told me, "it is good you worry about abortion in elections. It means you don't have to worry about poverty or starvation or death." I suppose that's true...
Yeah, it seems I'm always "learning" about the U.S. too when I travel. Sometimes I even solicit the information. Even more occasionally, it's true! Just kidding - usually, it's quite fair and it's always enlightening, albeit sometimes more about the speaker than the listener...oh, and I thought the beginning was joke - I want a punchline! (-;
