Experienced guest in India, Ed Hanley still has moments of fear and shock like many people. He recalled meeting with policemen on board, when he wanted to take pictures of them, he was seen with bad eyes. Poverty is something that every visitor to India must get used to. But when he saw the children begging on the train, Hanley was still shocked. Two girls boarded the train in Jagiroad, Assam, one of them tumbling in a carriage while the other playing the dholak drum. Both are very good, they can make money from this job but still need to go to school. However, Hanley still admires this East Asian country and continues to plan to travel again many times. Next time he will probably take a car or walk.
