Not exactly. The sleep cars are usually air conditioned in India, and you travel with the locals, although not on the roof of the train. But you wish the cars were not air conditioned. In India, both in trains and buses, air conditioners have only two positions: on and off. On means that you'll travel like if you were into a deep freezer. If then, as it happened to me the last time I went to India, you have got a temperature and you are ill, and you travel at night in one of those trains, the typical Indian air conditioner is a nightmare. The only visible part of my body were my eyes, to the amusement of the locals who were travelling in the same car. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Carlos Royo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zaragoza (Aragon) - Spain ------------------------------------------------------------------ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
