    I had so many people tell me to visit the golden temple on my India travels so I went and it did not disappoint. It is incredible. I ended up just spending 3 days sitting by the pool people watching. Sunset was my favourite time. The prayers and the lights coming on was beautiful, one of my India highlights.

    Glad to see you enjoyed the food and opted not get the water in the bowl 🥣 so you could get a lot more rice pudding. There are donation boxes throughout the Gurudwara complex for people to drop in some dough 💰. The building right in front of the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) entrance is where the sacred seat of the Guru is. People go in there to pay homage to all previous gurus. Those guys never lose shoes because they're so organized with the pigeon hole boxes. I've been there so many times since I arrived, I lost count but never lost my shoes. The clockwise going around (full circle) the Harmandir is known as parikarama in Hinduism. 🙏🏻😎🇮🇳

    Hi Gabe: Nice vlog of the Golden Temple. Would definitely want to see the Jalianwala Bagh Museum where hundreds of people who had assembled peacefully were gunned down without any warning by the British Army led by General Dyer. By the way, the name of the state Punjab (the first part of the name is pronounced exactly like the English word "pun") means land of 5 waters (rivers). The rivers are: Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas & Sutlej.

Toenail fungus is commonly caught in such situations. Another common area is in public pools. See if you can get your hands on lamisil (terbinafine) in spray or cream form. Interesting video.

    Hello Gabriel.
    I spent some weeks in the northwest of India and loved it. I was not taken by Amritsar and at the Golden Temple and the crowds were massive. My favorite place was Srinagar. I stayed on a house boat on Dhal lake. It was so peaceful, beautiful and quiet. A wonderful rest near the end of a 6 week trip in India which mainly concentrated on Tiger safaris in Central India. Mind blowing.
