So this post isn't really about the waht, it's more about the how... To keep ourselves entertained on our journey on the advice of the Sangam SV's and Interns (volunteers) we devised 'India Bingo'.
It's a very simple game. On the back of a postcard at a bus stop in Goa we wrote down a whole list of things to keep an eye out for on our adventures. Things like 'most interesting thing to find on a motobike' or 'most pimped out rickshaw'. We'd then call it and if a camara was avalible take a photo...It caused endless amusment and sometimes the findings were quite shocking-like 'most inapropriatly dressed tourist!' Unfotuently we found answers to this one far too often! "They're not covering their knees" or "Oh my gosh I can see her sholders!"
Anyway I wanted to share with you our little game so here's The Three Muskatiers version of India Bingo:
- Cows eating rubish
