@DrEliDavid I've been there, they literally hang around rangers huts. Anyone can make a video like this. Also you can't go anywhere without the rangers who have only sticks (all they need to protect themselves). There's probably a bunch of them standing right there.
@DalrympleWill I was there just before COVID, it's serene even if it's kind of in the middle of a roundabout. A few crows, but not another soul was around
@kamilkazani I was only thinking, I don't know enough about the Volga yesterday. I read the Wikipedia page, but it really didn't cover the anthropology. Thank you, I look forward to reading the rest!
@stephensackur@BBCHARDtalk I've literally been watching this show for years, in asia when it was the only English channel, or often late night reruns when the TV finished at 12 during the week... Nowadays because it's the best of its type, and they get the biggest names.... but onwards and upwards!
@willspencer I had friends of mine (white girls) groped by motorcyclists, harassed on trains, buses, seedy guys(kids even) saying they were sexy on the street...
But..When you wake up in the morning in India you don't know if it's going to be the best or the worst day of your life
@DalrympleWill@Busybee32433175 Widened my knowledge on the whole region as a young adult and definitely one of my favourite reads of all time, opened my eyes to a whole world of alternative travel writers, and inspired me to follow in their footprints. Thank you
