Most travel books will tell you not to compare the country you are visiting with your home country,but the things you notice most are the things that are different from home, so how can you not compare ?
Especially when visiting the town you have the fondest memories of. Varanasi, where I contracted amoebic dyssentry on my first visit in 1989 , and well .....it is cleaner , not clean ,but cleaner !
It is the holiest of Indian cities
,the place to die or get cremated (in that order), and for us a place to gawk.The burning Ghat's are a sight to remember , utter chaos , filthy ,and different !
