Winnie's Whereabouts

India (summary 28aug - 9sep07)

Again, i m reminded of india being e land of extremes.
And i will plan to visit india again :)


This recent visit was for a 3-days teachings by HH Dalailama for e ppl of s.e. asia (by a Spore organiser). That's e main-dish, i thought, n e added side-dish would be a visit to Dehra Dun.
