Bhagalpur: initially the streets seemed busy, but I think they were probably
relatively pretty quiet
Bihar
is the poorest state in India and in Bhagalpur there are more bicycles,
motorbikes and rickshaws, and fewer cars, than we saw in towns in West
Bengal. It’s no less noisy though – and
I was wandering round when there was a strike on (I couldn’t tell, apart from a
few more closed shop fronts than usual)!
Another beautiful rickshaw
Bhagalpur
is a small-medium sized Indian city, probably a largish city in most other
places. The afternoon we arrived it was
hot, sticky, crowded and noisy. We
looked for a sim card for about an hour, before finding a shop selling them, at
which point we realised we wouldn’t be be able to buy one without at least
someone who spoke Hindi, and probably some sort of certificate of
non-terrorism/good character/capability of sim ownership. At which point I gave up and went back to the
hotel for a nap with the cockroaches.
