Thank you, Sammie. I think it would be very interesting, as many religions respect his teachings. I am sure that people from all over the world attend.

Seriously? A treehouse? I didn't think that was possible. However, I have been watching a few episodes of that new series about treehouses and I see that they've even built a recording studio in one, so, hey, why not?

I love Chai tea! And yes, I am referring to what we Americans consider to be "Chai Tea", as I am aware that 'chai' is really just the name for 'tea'. However, I still enjoy what we've made out of it.

I've just learned that horse races are big in India. I wasn't aware of this. Does anyone know where the best horse races can be found and where they take place?

If you can't see the age groups of fellow travelers when signing up for a group, it's probably not a good idea. However, you don't really find too many people who are too old that want to take a trip of this sort, so it might not be so bad.

I would never have thought that kidney beans are native to India, and I still don't believe they are. However, once something is has been introduced to a country, they will generally come up with a dish that makes it their own.

What does the measure entail? Did they just come up with a way on how to measure Gross National Happiness, or how to ensure gross national happiness?

I am not familiar with Indian customs, and I'm not sure what is appropriate for a female to wear. Should a female dress more conservatively when visiting India?

Why was it named Elephanta caves? I am not even aware that elephants lived in caves. Unless, of course, the caves are huge. Either way, I'm sure it is a beautiful sight to see.

I think I would just as soon sign up for an organized tour rather than to try to find a travel partner. After all, these travelers are also happy to have partners along, as they are mostly new to a country, as well.

The only way to get 'authentic' food is to eat it in the country where it originates. All of the other countries adapt their own versions of the dish. I love it when I cook something that I believe is a certain native dish, and someone else tells me I am making it wrong. I am pretty sure we are...

Are there any special events or sights to see for Mahatma Ghandi's birthday? It is a national holiday, after all. I was hoping that maybe there were some interesting memorable shows or traditional exhibits.

Sugarcane juice sounds quite interesting. However, I can only imagine it to be sweet, without much flavor at all. I could be wrong about that, though.

I don't think there are any more eels in Indian waters than anywhere else. You should educate yourself on the lacation where you wish to swim. Every place is different, and the natives should be able to tell you what you need to know.

Wouldn't it depend on what type of food you are looking for? Eveing.ryone's tastes are different. Although, when I travel, I prefer to eat native food of the place that I am visit
