What!

I would like to be more trusting of people, but when I'm solo like this I just can't. Yeasterday, I was approached by five different people who wanted to take me to silk facories, scented oil factories, music festivals, incense rolling competitions, and other various things. I was approached again today and told about an incense rolling competition. I told the guy someone told me it was yesterday. He told me no it was today and just up this way.

The other thing that bothers me a bit is everyone starts to walk with me to engage in conversation. When this happens I tend to shuffle around, just in case someone is behind me trying to fuck with my bag. No one has been there, yet. They usually walk with me for a while and ask questions I'd rather not answer like: where are you staying, how much is it for a room there, how long are you going to be here, and some other shit. I want to tell them to get the fuck away from me. I just want to walk around and be left alone. I'm not taking as many pictures as I'd like to because that seems to send up a flag for people to bother me.

Usually people seem harmless enough, but I just feel constantly on guard. I sometimes think about an old Chris Rock standup routine where he says "...women see me and they dial 9-1- just waiting for something to happen."

I'm waiting.

If I had a loving and hating section like JP does on his website, India would be on both lists every day.
