Soooo I am on my own and I was transferring to to get to Madurai. Option A wait in the airport for 5 hours. Option B get harrrassed by a taxi driver to let him take me around the city for free...nothing in India is free. So we negotitated and he took me back to his rattle trap car and I started thinking..what did I agree too? Wellt eh arragnemetn was five stores that I had to go into..he would get paid 200 Rs a store for bringing me.....and I would see Bangalore. As he drove me down some back alley and through some deserted streets the only thing goign through my head was: missing tourist in Banglore. He grabbed my hand and pinched my fingers and laughed. He then looked at me and said 2 chidst..??? two chidst You will have two children hahah. The first store we went to a took his keys and a taxi liscence and went in and had masala tea with some beautifil Kashmir men. I came out of the store and he said: you are very smart lady and I thought: I don't think my mother would think that right now:)
I went to the stores and visited with the Kashmir men and learned many interesting things.... my driver took meout for lunch and said I will pay if you stay one more day...I laughed and said takeme back to the airport please....free taxi, free lunch free tea and a free tour of the city..with only one or two panic atacks.. all is well and I am on my way to Madurai
