Hippietown.

We're already on our third day in Pushkar, a little town in the middle of the Indian desert. The reason why is because it's so mellow here! People don't try to scam you, they don't try to pull you into their shops, not so many people make photo's of you (And if they do, they ask you first), it's clean, it's not noisy and it's just so quiet and beautiful! The city is built arround a sacred lake where a few of Ghandi's ashes were scattered. Arround the lake is the main bazar of the city where you can shop untill you drop! It's so much fun to walk arround in that street! The most amazing individuals walk by. Ever since we came here, we noticed that there was a high level of western hippies residing in the city. We have no idea why, but maybe it's just that Pushkar is such a mellow town where you can just take it easy without being looked at all the time. Even so, it's even hard for us to not look at some of the people walking arround here. They have long dreadlocks, piercings, tattoos, pilgrim clothes and they are just personalities who you don't see every day. I love it here though. Yesterday we climbed one of the mountains arround the city to one of the temples. Once up there, I had a chat with a guy who was sitting on a wall. He shared half of his food with me and we talked about our backgrounds. It turned out he was a local priest! And he told me that because Pushkar is such a holy town, fifty percent of his inhabitants are priests. I think that Varanassi is not the holiest city of India; Pushkar is. Varanassi has just got too many scammers and is too commercialised. Puskar is the real deal. But ok, enough for now. We're actually going on a camel safari at the end of the day which should be interesting... Talk to you guys soon! :-)
