India – From the city into the countryside.

It’s fabulous to get a glimpse into another culture.

India – Kanchipuram – Life on the streets

We went for a walk around to see what we could find. There was a great deal of dust and bustle.

India – Kanchipuram – into the guts of the Temple.

Inside the temple it was like a labyrinth. Everything ornately carved stonework. Alcoves full of people, statues and colourful carvings.

India – Kanchipuram – Hindu Temple

It’s the city of a thousand temples.

India – Vendors, homes and cows.

India is an experience, friendly people and sights, and sites.

India – Chennai – from the city into the country.

India is changing. Huge areas of slums are being cleared. A massive housing project is underway. India is on the up. Yet it is still held in religious superstition. There is still great poverty and a rudimentary rural economy.

Massive change is coming. You can smell it.

India – Chennai – A look around the city.

Arriving in India we had a quick look around the city.

Hong Kong – more images from the Tzs Shan Monastery

So much to see!! I was intrigued that people still worship.

Hong Kong – a Crested bird in the monastery grounds.

I don’t know what this bird is but it was beautiful.

Hong Kong – a view at night from the boat.

This isn’t the main part of the city. That’s around the headland!
