We saw this guy on the way up to McLeod Ganj this evening:
Gill, Marie, Brij, and I spent most of the day in Lower Dharamsala roaming the place and just generally looking around. There was supposed to be a TEDx talk in the area, but according to the website the venue was simply "Dharamsala, India." I hate to break it to you, TED, but Dharamsala is a whole city, and a sprawling one at that. We had originally intended on attending the event, but after the very rainy morning and the fact that we weren't sure where to go, we decided instead to just go wherever seemed like a good idea at the time.
When we got back, I helped Brij get some splinters out of his hand (he had also taken a spill earlier in the week) and he helped me do this:
Yeah, it's time to quit being a slacker tourist and learn the local language. Yes, English is technically an official language of India and yes, 90% of the signs here are in English. Everybody seems to prefer speaking Hindi, though, and I can't think of a good reason not to learn at least a few key phrases. Wish me luck. ;)
