Jaipur — the Pink City.
To welcome a royal guest, they painted the whole city pink,
the traditional color of welcome in Rajasthan.
And it's still pink today.
A city I'd wanted to see for years.
Painted walls, monkeys on the power lines,
a samosa inside a burger, and a suitcase with three wheels.
And in the quiet of the evening, this:
away from home, my "normal" stops meaning anything —
so I get to see the same world with fresh eyes.
—
I've been studying Ayurveda, and I've always wanted to see India for myself.
A week-long solo trip: Delhi → Jaipur → Haridwar → Delhi.
I'm 50, single, and living alone in Tokyo.
This channel is the ordinary days — and now and then,
a trip that takes me far from ordinary.

Thank you for all the advice on EP.1. I read every one of them.
Next: Haridwar, and the Ganges. 🙏
Which city in India should I visit next?
