Preparations

Planned to use Udaipur as base to search for a place to stay in Goa and manage to settle up a volunteering position in the south if possible. Had no real luck on the first but managed to make some advances on the second.

When thinking of a place where to work this things out, I didn't think Udaipur would end up being so expensive and annoying. However, it is a good place to meet people you've left behind. Among others, I run up into Dan and Charlotte just when they where up to see a Rajasthani music and dance concert. The music was good, but the dancing was even better. I was totally astonished to see a woman dance around with ten water pots in her head. Not to mention she danced on top of broken glass. No need for that!

I also ran up with Jeff, whom I had mentioned back in Pushkar. I said I would talk about him later on and now is the time. He might be the chance Goa turns out to be cheaper. He's the person I've seen in India that travels in cheapest of manners. For example, his breakfast consists of a 5 Rs. biscuit and a 5 Rs. chai. So to make a long story short, we both had the same worries about Goa. It all depends on when each of us arrives there, but we talked about sharing a room. We will see what happens...
