My Guided Tour of Kolkata
February 27th, 2012 — 5:22am
I spent 8 hours today with a professional tour guide seeing Kolkata. I asked to see the real city, and we did. Here are a few photos from today.

A man in the flower market. These fresh flowers are used as decorations for weddings and other events.

Only when you've driven in a city like this can you appreciate how laughable these words are. There is precisely zero obedience to the traffic laws here.

We had lunch at a Bengali restaurant run out of a rescue mission. The residents work there and benefit from the proceeds. The upper-left is a whole fish, which I ate while thinking of the horribly dirty river I saw earlier. You only live once right? So far I'm feeling fine.
