I'm glad you liked the Mahabalipuram pictures and posted recently.
It was a long awaited trip for me. I had last visited that place when I was 7 yrs old. I only remember that it had fewer tourists then and it was a great spot for 'hide and seek' for us as kids.
Yeah, I agree about your views on India. It's the culture that still makes this place attractive despite all the invasions especially modernisation.

Hopefully its okay to communicate on this site. I will snwer some of your questions, Im 18, from Canada, my interests are culture, art, politics, nightlife, dancing, music, and theatre. My apporximate budget per day is between 100-150 (hopefully including accomodations). I am going to be travelling mostly in hostels, but want to stay in at least one hotel every week.
I will look through the UNESCO World Heritage Site and write back for my highlights.

Hi Rudi, I am longing for retirement so that I may have more time for Globo. Iam too busy with my teaching and translating activities.
We in French Polynesia are actually far away from every one on earth and it is such a pleasure to hear from Globo friends.

Thanks Rudi.
Yes it is good that we now have all these Kuril Islands in Globo (Urup, Iturup, etc.). Before, I had to upload those pictures under Sakhalin Oblast.
It does not matter who has got the “land-marked” to these new places. The important is that they are now in Globo databank, available for everybody.
(Soon I will travel to other very, really very hard reaching islands in Russia, in Chukotka peninsula (the Russian Alaska), the end of the world. After Chukotka there is no other most exotic destination on Earth, only the Moon. There, in the Bering Strait, there are two islands called Diomede, one is Russian (Ratmanov), and the other one, at only 1.5 kilometres distance, belongs to USA. Between them there is 24 hours time difference! I fear they are not in Globo databank, so we will have to apply for them to be included).
