India 2009 Photo Gallery by C.M. Kwan at pbase.com

India 2009

In May 2009, I had two unforgettable weeks in Gujarat, India.

In December 2009, I had one week in Jhajjar, India.
Each day I spent more than 5 hours travelling on a rough road.
When I saw something interesting,
I asked my driver to stop for a short break and took some pictures.

The people I met in India were passionate about their work, very nice to work and talk with.
Smiling and friendly faces were found everywhere when I was walking into local villages.
