For the past 2 weeks I've been here in Mussorie, studying Hindi at the Landoor Language School. Many student from Europe and America come here to learn Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi or Sanskrit, it's a very international atmosphere. The town itself is in the mountains, on about 2200 meters, during the day it gets quite hot and at night a bit chilly. This part of India is simply beautiful, being surrounded by hills for the first time in my life a learn to appreciate it a lot. But see for yourself.
This is the view I get every morning when walking up the steep path that leads from my house (I stay with an Indian family) to school.
I then go around the corner and - when the weather is clear - see this. The white peaks are the Himalayas.
A painting on a rock, just off a path close to school. I thought first it was an Indian goddess but it turned out to be from Hawaii. How it got there - no clue ;-)
Sunset over Mussoorie, seen five minutes away from my house. And it's like that every evening!
Finishing with one of these pictures that symbolise India for me - where else would you get a shop that specialises in dry cleaning and video repair?
