Inspiring meetings along the road!

The Indian people are very curious! Staring at another person in India is not at all rude and is something you have to get used to when you are a Westerner, especially when you drive a floral decorated rickshaw in India.

What is so amazing is that as soon as you are smiling and waving to a curious Indian person, you almost always get a big smile and a wink back.

The hospitality in India is great but unfortunately we had many kilometers to drive every day so there was not the time to accept the invitations we received along the way. This young man was one of those who invited us to his home but instead of a home visit he had to put up with a hug from Johan and a kiss on the cheek.

This wonderful little lady came up to us when we stopped in a small village and patted Christel on the cheek and gave her a big smile. She then leaned forward and kissed Christel on the cheek and turned her cheek towards her so she could kiss her back.
