When we drove up to the village of Deep Colony (outside Siliguri, India), a large group of women and children were waiting to greet us. We were quite late, so we hate to think how long they had been waiting... The women were part of self-help and micro-credit groups. They took us around to see their nursery project. © www.uncorneredmarket.com
Several women look at sarees at a shop in Varanasi. Every imaginable color and style is available - an overwhelming variety. © www.uncorneredmarket.com
We purchased a bottle of Landsun dry red wine at a grocery store in Pingyao for only a couple of dollars. It was tastier than the better known and ubiquitous Great Wall wines of the same price. Unfortunately, we never found it anywhere else outside of Pingyao. Open it, let it breathe a bit and pair it with Pingyao beef. Excellent! © www.uncorneredmarket.com
