Well, I guess things turn around once you can stop thinking negative and get thoughts out of your head!
After the terrible train ride we arrived in Amritsar, which is a city in Punjab. The Punjab men all wear turbans, so that they can grow their hair. Due to their religion they are not supposed to ever cut their hair. Thinking that it was going to be yet another damn Indian town, with damn Indian men, I didn't expect much. However after a few minutes, of walking around, things changed. Mark and I were looking at a map and a man tapped me on the shoulder. I'm thinking "Don't touch me you bastard!", but it turned out he was trying to get my attention because there was a small trickle of water coming downstream, and I was going to be right in the middle of it!! After that I felt like the bastard! That's when I eased up. The people here turned out to be very nice, of course there is always going to be some incident, but that happens at home as well. Punjab has lots of ice cream, and nice people. MY FAVE! However, we didn't stay too long because we had plans to see his Holiness; the Dali Lama in a couple of days and didn't want to miss out. We jumped on a bus and headed up north to Dharamsala, also known as McLeod Ganj. A beautiful bustling small town in the cold mountains.
