Hello!
I'm so pissed of right now.. I wrote a long blog entry and everything disappeared when I tried to publish it. Well I'll try to make this quick since I am really hungry.
So yesterday I went to a Hindu temple to do the traditional prayer ritual, it was really cool and so diffrent from any other religious ritual I have seen or done before. There was some coconut breaking, waving of incenses and ofcourse I got the red dot on my forehead.
Yesterday I also went to see the daily prayer ritual to the river Ganges. Drums, incences, singing, flowers, fire, it was really cool although it lasted about an hour so it got a bit repetive at some points.
Today morning I woke up 4:30am to go for a morning boat ride on the Ganges river. It was nice to see the city and its many ghats from a diffrent view. We also visited the biggest burning ghat in Varanasi, there are fires going 24/7 and they burn few hundred body each day.
On they way back from the burning ghat I saw a dead body stuck on an anchor rope. Poor people can't afford to be buried so they are just tossed into the stream.
But yeah I'm off to have some breakfast/lunch/dinner combination since I haven't eaten anything today and it's 4pm.
