Bangkok to Calcutta

On Wednesday, January 16, my real trip begins! I will arrive in Calcutta, India, via air from Bangkok. I returned to Bangkok a few days ago to get a ticket and finally move forward, but I had to wait to get a decent fare... It has actually been nice relaxing and walking, reading and meeting people, trying mystery street foods and watching movies in tourist restaurants. I plan for about 3 months in India and possibly Bangladesh and/or Nepal before heading back to Southeast Asia for the remaining cool(ish) months. In September or October I will return to India- though I am not sure where I will find refuge from the heat in July and August!

I have been taking photographs of all my meals as well as all the places I am sleeping. Once in India I will decide on how to share these- either on photo pages or as sets on Flickr. See you soon!
