Some homeless met on the streets of a poor neighborhood of Jaipur. A tent camps forgot by the people.. where few tourists go. All were preparing for the Holi Festival... everyone does what can.

During a tour near Luang Prabang, we stopped in a small village consisting mostly of huts. Basically, it was a stop for buying souvenirs .. after finishing the tour of the small "shops", all the children of the village ran to our bus to greet us and to try to speak a bit in English.

Holi Festival

Some kids among the streets of Jaipur downtown during the Holi Festival.

Among the streets of a small neighborhood of New Hampi, when I passed through there was a great enthusiasm and also surprise by the local (especially children). They are not very used to see foreigners around here... tourists normally spend their time only in the old town where all the ruins are.

Until eight years ago the ancient ruins of Hampi were inhabited as normal homes by locals. The past eight years, the Indian government has been trying to preserve these ancient site ... and are literally driving out of their "homes" these people.
