india museam, kali temple, etc...

Went the India musaeum. Like all the other museaums we have been to here, there is little ryhme or reason behind it. Kind of a natural history museaum with some randomness thrown in for good mesure. More like being a storehouse that a museaum though. The Kali temple is only a metro stop away from our guest house. They sacrafice 10 goats a day and give the meat to the poor. I didn't get to see any sacrifices, but did get a helpful tour from one of the Brahmin. I bought a bunch of gongs and let a little girl play one during a ceremony out side the temple. On our way home for the night we found a bunch of older men playing a awesome game that is like table top flick billairds. They looked kinda of seedy but we happy we were watching and taking pics.

It isn't flick pool, it's called carom. Very popular in South Asia.
