After 10 hrs ride we arrived in Jaipur - the Pink City.
I made a small self-test again and went out for a walk - alone! ;) The first impression - as usual - was quite shocking. The amount of money-asking people has increased tremendously and they are also more insolent (yes, I know the word "beggar", but I wouldn't use it describing these people. Beggar is supposed to be sick or very poor or somehow else in extraordinary bad condition, but these people look normal in given circumstances and could go to work (and children to school), I believe). I use to ignore such people, and they leave eventually - but some are very consistent and other "methods" have to be used. Especially disgusting are the small children, who start crabbing the clothes to gain the attention etc. Today I couldn't help it and even raised my voice in order to get rid of one, who kept following me. Grr.. I have a lot of work to do with my tolerance..
