Mamallapuram, India

I'm having a short weekend retreat at Mamallapuram, around 100km, 2 hours from Pondicherry. It's really a great place, not too big, not too busy, not too noisy...
Mamallapuram has two UNESCO world heritage sites and many other historical sites. I'm visited almost all of them in just one day. It's not really impressive, I can't always expect everything to be impressive anyway.

Sadly, Indian people seem like don't know the importance of these sites, and how precious they are. They just climb, seat, stand, touch the structures or reliefs without feeling anything wrong. Sooner or later these sites sure will damage bad enough beyond repair if Indian people still don't aware about the damage they cause.

I actually saw fortune tellers using parrots to do their fortune telling. I don't know how it works. But isn't it weird that people believe their future can be told by a parrot? It's really funny.

Anyway, today is a nice day after all. Actually I'm watching sunset at this moment. Really relax and nice to write blog in this surroundings.
