The team that i worked with from 2005 - 2006. . .that picture is taken on some grounds in front of the Taj Mahal - India, we were dripping sweat - it was so hot that you needed a litre of water every hour. That is where International Congress 2005 was held.
We landed in Bombay - i think 2 weeks after those heavy storms they experienced, took a 30 hrs train ride heading to Agra where the conference was held and boy did we have a cultural experience on that train - we had Indian tea (called chai), learned some words and interacted with the 2 guys we where sharing the compartment with.
The country was totally green and amazing, but you could see the poverty that had sheltered it, i mean people slept on the hard concrete floor at train stations with no blankets - but i guess with that heat you don't really need it!
We got to the hotel early hours of the morning, having not bathed for those many hours and we had to wait to be checked in first which happened 5 hours later - so i was not that thrilled to give people hugs:)
Anyway, i liked India - the culture is rich and still preserved, i hope to make it there again.
