Travel is uniquely educational. Hope the worst is really over. Impressed with your hardiness! Be excellent, traveler. Party on. It is actually hard to imagine that train ride.

There are air conditioned sleeper classes as well as first class tickets but they are all way more expensive then the cheap cheap sleeper class tickets. Definitely will keep all the suggestions in mind. One thing we are certainly going to do is rent a taxi driver to take us around Rajastan during the last leg of our trip. Thankfully our train rides should be more spaced out in the future, the worst is over!

I can contrast it with my recent discussions with a native Indian. Last month we hired a new electrical engineer. She and her husband came here 20 years ago, and she got her PhD from Texas A&M. She's really gifted and learned. They are now US Citizens, but travel to India at LEAST once a year, and hit the local sites. She misses her homeland (Madras). One thing she mentioned is that airline travel is how the middle class gets around. An airline ticket is about the same as a first class rail ticket, with excellent service. Someting to consider?? Good luck! --Gary This is really intersting. I can contrast it with my recent discussions with a native Indian.

I mean, you two pay for sleeping seats, then all sorts of ticketless people crowd you and keep you awake. So why do you buy premium tickets? Anyway, you are certainly getting an education, broadening your horizons! Thanks for traveling! How does the monetary thing work out?

Sometimes people need boundaries or they will continue to harsh on your mellow. It sounds like you have the right attitude overall. When you're walking around Nepal you probably won't have quite as many people around. Keep on keeping on. Sounds pretty gnar man…Wish I could have been there to hear that epic shushing by Chris.
