    🇮🇳 Eco Park Review: India’s Largest Urban Park & The 7 Wonders of the World Inside

    This week, I wander through Eco Park on the east side of Kolkata, the largest urban park in all of India. The highlight is “Seven Wonders,” a quirky park-within-a-park that features scaled recreations of the pyramids of Giza, the Great Wall of China, Easter Island, and more. I share what impressed me, what didn’t, and whether it’s worth your time. Also, many people ask me for a photo, and we have a short discussion about boundaries and culture. Along the way, we also get into practical food tips for surviving spicy Indian cuisine, debate the health reality of Chola Bhatura, and confront the shocking truth that ketchup is absolutely not a sauce. Around this time, India started to really open up for me, and I can’t wait to share it with you. Show Notes 🏞️ Eco Park on Wiki – a good breakdown🎧 My Hawaii audiobook on YouTube, now free!

    🇮🇳 First Days in India: Street Cobblers, Food Poisoning, & Apple Wizardry

    My first days in India were… eventful. From food poisoning to waking up to a dead MacBook, things started off rocky. But my couchsurfing hosts made it unforgettable—such incredible people (and food!). I got my shoes repaired on the street, wandered Kolkata’s vibrant streets, and anxiously waited to see if the local tech wizard could bring my expired-warranty MacBook back to life.
