you convey the gritty reality of your journey quite well, i felt transported both to the wonder and confusion so typical when one immerses oneself so deeply in a strange culture, especially without using money to insulate oneself from feeling life as the locals live it.

hope to hear much more from your pen, and see many  more examples of your spellbinding photography.

bon voyage!
