Sponsor: Suzette Richards

Prose - 58 words (manually), 57 words - word-counter.net 

SEVENTH  PLACE

A group of students from Japan visiting India - a city so crowded they had never seen! In their blooming minds, everything seems beautiful - loud street-vendors, smell of spicy food, dangers of crossing roads with uncontrolled traffic, walking on uneven cobbled sidewalks ! They will return to a perfect world, with memories and experiences that totally changed their vision! perfect charm unique perceived by fresh young minds in terrible chaos return to tranquillity leave heart quietly bleeding

He was there for work (Ibm) in Bangalore. Not sure he likes the crowds and busyness but I think he still had a good time. Brought me back some coffee.

Thank you so much, Dear Kim. Did your husband go to India on official trip, or just travelling? Did he like the country? It is a bit of chaos there, but people are warm, they have life. From now on, I am planning to go every year, if my health permits.
