"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it--every, every minute?" Emily Webb, Our Town

My kids enjoyed the experience. I wouldn’t go after hearing about it. My oldest son and his wife spent a month there. My youngest son got sick so many times he lasted 3 weeks and then moved onto Vietnam which was a step up. Plus with my asthma and the poor air quality I cannot go to that part of the world.
We spent 33 days in India in 1991. A life changing experience. So many things happened: Bush started a war that began and ended while we were there, our airline PanAm went bankrupt but still got us home, etc. It was a British "adventure" tour that I would probably never suggest anyone else try but we survived without getting sick and got home safely. But as the trip went on, I ate less and less adventurous food. Hot veggie cuisine was safest.
I agree that City of Joy is a must read but do not see the movie. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel movie is pretty good. The only thing you dont get is the smells.
