Incredible India, here we go again!! (page 4 of 6)

Good evening, I don’t know if "people are less polite"! Thanks for sharing this. Pierre

I don’t know either, Pierre, just observing 😉 and obviously I’m just kidding—those guys can do whatever they want Have a great day!

Thanks to you girls, the guys are less polite—they take off without saying goodbye 😉.

See you next time on VFChristelle

Hey Christelle, I don’t think it’s about gender or even about saying goodbye... it’s something else entirely... More like closing words... that we don’t feel like saying... You’re getting on my nerves, too, in the end... What were you really expecting? If it’s just goodbye... it’s not that interesting... You know I’m not big on politeness and conventions... I like you, I like your honesty with me, and you could be a great friend in real life... But I’d rather leave it at that as far as what I had to say.

you could be a great friend in real life....

I even think you and I are the start of a great love story, Marien 😉.

But we shouldn’t spill the beans on VF

VF - a new (ha!) dating site ??! 😛

It's a nice change from those who come to VF just to tear each other apart, Mark!! I say: let's love one another (wait, wasn't that me who said it first 😛?).

I’m reading your intense moments in this country full of life lessons with so much emotion.... I’m heading to Rajasthan in January 2018, and honestly, I can’t wait to be shaken up and fully experience discovering this country!😊

Well, if you love emotional roller coasters, Myriam, you're in for a treat (and that's the best part ;)). I wish you a fantastic trip and I’m counting on you to come back and tell us all about it 😄

Oh yes!!!!😁 Thanks for your reply and have a great weekend!🧘

hi there, What a fantastic story—so well written! I really feel like I’m there, and it’s making me even more excited to finally visit this amazing country. I’ve never been to India, but it’s been a dream of mine for a while now. Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi Solene, You brought the sunshine (and the chaos) into my gray, well-organized day (I’m working in Germany for a month)! Thanks! Your story and photos are gorgeous, and it’s pushing me to make up my mind and head to northern India in February.... I’ll keep reading your story... and I hope you’re having a great day too. Hope the colors of your skin and your memories are still as vibrant! Hana

Hi Christelle,

Reading you takes us through all the emotions—sometimes happy, sometimes less so—but your style has the merit of being direct and unfiltered. We always discover interesting situations or places through your posts. Not to mention your travel journal-to-post ratio is really positive. People often forget how much time it takes to write all this. Each journal feels like a little piece of the trip shared...

Well, thank you Christine, Hana, and Joel (and everyone else) for taking the time to write me a nice little message 😄!

Because while I can admit that I write these travel journals first and foremost for myself (well, yeah, so I can remember when I’m old and have 50 years of travel behind me 😉), I definitely would’ve stopped sharing them if I never got any comments (because I’d just think nobody cares 😛).

So, 21 participants for 4,300 views is a bit low for a ratio, but it’s enough to make me happy because I always prefer quality over quantity (but yessss, that’s a nice compliment I’m giving you all 😏).

Have a great Sunday, friends

Hello, What a wonderful story, so well written—I really feel like I’m there, and it makes me even more eager to go discover this extraordinary country. I’ve never been to India, and it’s a project I’ve had for some time now. Thanks so much for sharing.

Wow, amazing!!! I can tell you’ve been hanging out at literary salons... Congratulations, Christelle! The end-of-year literary prizes are coming up soon. Are you applying for the Goncourt, or do you prefer the Femina?

As Baudelaire said: "To the happy few"!

Hello,

I’m reliving exactly the same feelings as my trip to Varanasi—6 days there in 2012, it was just like this. Thanks for bringing back those memories!

Hi Solène,

A huge thank you for this detailed and lively account—I read it with so much pleasure. Now I’ll be waiting for the one about Cambodia, where we went a few years ago.

Best regards.

Hi Solene, I spent a few months here and there all over India. For me, it's the most beautiful country in the world, and its people are just as charming as it is. What a lucky chance to be there again. Unfortunately for me, it's over—I'm 75 years old and disabled in one leg. On top of that, my misfortune is great because when I moved to a small apartment, all my photos disappeared... So you'd really be a great friend to me if you sent your photos via email to fonteyn@orange.fr, as it would remind me of happy moments spent in this wonderful country. I really thank you because, as you said, there's no way to copy the photos. A huge thank you, Francine Fonteyn

Hi Christelle, this might be very touching and genuine, but it could also be a smooth talk to get your photos... With your stories about "good vibes" and "smiling at the world," you're gonna fall into the trap. There are thousands of photos online and... right here. It's child's play to take screenshots and print them... No, Christelle, I know I'm butting in where I shouldn't, but don't give away your originals—or... SELL THEM!!! Weird profile... first name: Nadine, gender: male, profile created in 2009 but only 54 posts in nearly 10 years, 29 discussions this person has taken part in. And the first name Nadine became... Francine... Be careful with your decision...
