On the big beach
Ah, the story of Jiu(sp?) beach. Rushabh wanted to take us to a place he'd been known to frequent with his friends, and to show us the masses that congregate there every evening. As the driver droped us off, it felt like being dropped off on another planet. Some of the things were familiar, with merchants selling snacks and such...and then you look up to see the human-powered ferris wheel and the chariot races. Most disconcerting of all, the group of us (mostly) white people caused quite a draw among the populus...and given that there were probably over 10,000 people there, it got to feeling a bit uncomfortable for all of us, especially Rushabh, so we fled back to the car pretty soon after arriving.
