18/10 - Kolkata

Hello from Kolkata (former known as Calcutta), We arrived to the real deal of India, the differences between Sikkim where we had traveled the past 10 days and Kolkata are huge. We returned to the buggers, to the filth, to the heat, you can see poorness wherever you go around here, what a hell of a way to finish our journey in India.
On the train to here we met a nice Swedish couple - Ellen and Sacha, the chemistry felt right in the beginning, they had come here to volunteer in one of the Charity foundations of Mother Teresa.

Ellen, Sacha and Yoni infront of Victoria Memorial:


The "Victoria Memorial" Museum turned out to be one of the best we have visited in India. Although we didn't have much time to spend in the city, we eventually found ourselves in the "Mother Teresa Hospital", absolutely the most difficult sight we have seeing in India, people go to this place to die not to get their health back, we "took a tour" around the place and were very strongly influenced by the foreigner volenteers which do a divine work in this hopeless place.

With these involved feelings we are going to leave India, the flight is at 2:00 at night. couldn't they picked a worst time ? We guess that this night is going to be a very very sleepless night.
