no no. we have nothing to do with that wiring. that's actually after it had been cleaned up. all of that was just laying on the street about 6 months ago.

The driving is so bad that about 99% of the cars have bumper guards on them

Can you drink the water in the hotel? What TV stations do you get? What radio stations? Can you pick up anything American on the radio like Armed Forces Radio?

Thanks very much for the pix and stay safe over there!

I'm no electrician, but that can't be safe. Also, what's with the bumper guards? Protection for protection???? Have a great time. It's almost like a mini vacation with all the pics you're putting up.

Do all the cars have seat covers like in India? My friends would buy new Mercedes and put covers over the seats as the pollution is so bad that the seats would be trashed from incoming air. Why brag about the leather if it is covered from day 1?
