Rubbish Rubbish Rubbish!

It's disgusting. Sometimes I feel like I'm walking through one big tip. It's everywhere, and the locals seem to be completely oblivious to it.

Take Jaisalmer Fort for instance. This thousand-year-old fort is the biggest tourist attraction in town and also home to about 4 thousand Rajasthanis. It's an amazing place, but there are parts that are totally inaccessible due to the rubbish build up. You'd think such an important site - one essential to their very livelihoods - would be due a little more care.



On the train, the kids laugh at me because I collect my little chai cups instead of just throwing them out the window.

But it's not easy being clean. Sometimes I carry my rubbish around for hours before I find a bin. And as I drop it in, I always wonder if it's just going to end dumped on the street later anyway.
