Weekend in India

I send many greetings from India again!
It is Monday and that is why I am going to write something about the weekend
- my weekend and typical Indian weekend.

In India, the length of a weekend varies week by week. Each second weekend
Saturday is work day, so the weekend is only one-day - Sunday. Most Indians
here lives apart from their families, but distances in India are much bigger
than those in Europe. So they are not used to go to visit their parents or
relatives every weekend; the common interval is once per one or two months.
Usually, they stay in their homes here in the place of their work and do
some sports - or - spend time with their families if it lives in the same
place too. It is also good time for weddings, but wedding of wealthier
citizens usually last from two to three days. Therefore it is better to do
it during the two-day weekend. Yesterday in our hotel there was a small
wedding which we saw (some of us joined, too - but not me).

Last weekend it was two-day weekend, but we worked on Saturday too.
Therefore our only free day was yesterday. We have been to the Pithalkora
caves about 70 km far away from Aurangabad. I have to say that in the Czech
Republic we have very very very good roads - especially after this trip.
Last 10 km we had to go very slow not to harm the car a lot so it took
around one hour. It was very hot weather and nobody was inside the caves
except for us. More, the caves were nothing special in comparison to Ajanta
and Ellora. On our way back, we stopped in Ellora once again and went to
some other caves we had not visited during the previous visit. Those caves
were amazing, it is really unbelievable how the people did such a big rooms
- everything from one piece of stone (rock) - just by cutting into the rock.

In the past, India had to be really wonderful country. Now, it is really
fast developing, but it needs to be developed still a lot :-)
