Here's a few more pics:

Trucks are always named after someone, and always really colourfully painted. Hinduism is definitley part of everyday life, as there are shrines in every store, office, restaurant, bus etc. And people buy flowers for their hair and also drape them over the shrines along with incense and candles. Inside the buses there are always various posters of different gods/dieties. Jesus is sometimes stuck in there as well, alongside Shiva and Ganesh. :) While Hindus worship various gods, there is still an overarching God as well, so maybe that is why they put Jesus in there (hmm..that still doesn't make sense :)).

These other pics are from Jewtown, which is one of the oldest Jewish settlements in India and has a lot of art shops and a spice market.

The last pic was the first caste related sign. To my unknowing eye, I haven't seen any other obvious caste division.

We are easily asked where we're from 10-20x/day. Usually by people we're talking to, but sometimes people ask across the street/restaurant/field or as people drive by! Here are some of the responses we're gotten when we say we're Canadian:

"ahh, so you're American, we hate Bush!!"
"is that near Argentina?"
"how do you like our beautiful country?"
"how do you like our beautiful women?"
"can you get me a visa?"
"do you speak Hindi there?"
"ahhhh..the land of the maple"
