can you make out russian girls by looking at them (of course face only)

Explanation required please ) )

She was either from Russia or from an Eastern European country, this much I could say just be looking at her face, of course her broken English which somewhat resembled that of Russians (have worked in a call center and seen plenty of Hollywood movies ).

As for eyes getting unlocked, well that only happened after she asked where the reception was , her boyfriend was kind of hiding away, standing 8-10 feet behind her and it wasn’t until she headed towards the caretakers room, that I spotted him.

Yogesh,

Moonlight Pangong Tso is a feast to eyes. Keep the report/pics rolling.

I just climbed up Pensi La, to watch Drang Drung glacier. Does it qualify as being to Zanskar?

[Yogesh Sarkar]

Well if Crimson and Salil can claim they have done Zanskar by doing that, so can you

Thanks Dwarak

He asked me about my plans for tomorrow and I told him that I was planning to ride till Rangdum and next day ride to Drass, as I was a vegetarian and Kargil is a hell for vegetarians.

Great photos again, Buddha ones look amazing! How can a Bong be a veggie??

Dad has been vegetarian for over 40 years and no else in the family eats non-veg food. I used to eat eggs, but have stopped eating those over a year back.

Good thing! Veggie is the "in" thing these days anyway. I try to, but very difficult

After saying goodnight to him, I went back to the guest house. As I was reviewing photographs, someone knocked on my door! I wasn’t expecting someone to come knocking on my door at 9:30pm and when I answered the door, I saw a beautiful Russian girl standing at the front, our eyes locked and she said, “where is the reception?”, I pointed her towards it and while she went to it, followed by her boyfriend who was standing 8-10 feet behind her, I went back to reviewing the photographs .

Tomorrow I would bid farewell to Padum and Zanskar Valley.

Any hint of Vodka in the air?
