What was India like, where there dead things in lakes!? Did you do any charity work?
I loved Ireland (my sister and I went to the south about 14y ago) and I have a friend in County Armah I'd like to visit. But passports are a problem, we could go to Scotland without them on Easyjet flights but it seams to be harder to fly accross to Ireland. Maybe a ferry would be better.
Armagh is in the uk, in fact if you fly to Belfast you can travel all around Ireland without a passport... just just need a normal ID to fly into Belfast with EasyJet or into to Derry with Ryanair. Train to Dublin from Belfast is £10, south is more expensive though.
India is really travel friendly, trains are comfortable and cheap, can travel across the country in a couple of days on them if you want. Food is probably amongst the best in the world, if not the best... people are curious, sometimes a little to friendly and sometimes a little rude but that's mostly a cultural thing.
Dead things in lakes? They have the ganges which is one of the dirtiest rivers on the planet, they use it for everything, to bury people, to wash themselves and clothes, i even saw someone brushing their teeth in the river... India is pretty crazy.
I planned to work at an orphange for 2 weeks but only stayed for 6 or 7 days, it was a mess. Did volunteer at a tea plantation for 2 weeks though which was nice, brought back some awesome tea as well and saw what goes into a tea bag 😲
