Hampi... Bangalored

I have just left Hampi and I am not going to lie I miss it already... I am currently in Bangalore and it sucks major ass fuzz. Only one day here though so I will just power through and try not to kill myself or someone else who is trying to sell me oversized balloons or a sarong or some shit. I might just tell everyone I am American and act like a douche nozzle..

Annyywayss Hampi was gorgeous I would really recommend it to anyone, just as every Indian I met recommend it to me. I spent two days sight seeing day one by bike; day two by rick shaw. I had no idea looking at stuff was so exhausting. 




Sweat and gross photo of me... your welcome...


The mixture of the natural landscape and architecture of the area was amazing, many of the sculptures and temples were made out of one solid piece of stone.

I have never visited any sites like this before in my life and I think I am lucky that the Indian government still allows you to climb all over the temples and touch whatever you like. I imagine that in time this will not be that case.

Since this area is a World Heritage Site, the government has slowly been knocking down the bizzare and I believe they intend to move the residents of this area out of the site. It seems like a shame to me, all the temples that I visited where taken care of by local families. The one young girl I met told me her family had always lived at the temple. I don’t understand the logic of knocking stores half down, I have seen this trend in India the beach in Baga went through a similar destruction a few years ago and they just rebuild from the rubble.

So many temples in Hampi... I could explain to you where these all where and what they all mean but I will just put them up and one day in real real life I can explain them to you if you want... I know that this is unlikely though ;)

The atmosphere of Hampi was really what made it so great, it was really laid back with a beautiful river running through the middle, and volcanic rock everywhere. It was surprisingly cold for India; Bangalore has been too, I am in a hoodie and sweat pants today and I feel a little chilly.

The only cool thing I have to report about Bangalore would have to be my trip here I took the sleeper train, which is basically just normal train and I was the only Westerner on my car. Its really not that bad and hella cheaper then a posher A/C sleeper car, I locked my bag to a chair and had no worries at all!

There were also lil mice friends on the train... bless

I am heading to Mysore and can not wait to be out of the city again!
