  4. Barbara, that's typical of cattle — that mixture of curiosity and uncertainty.

    Patricia, "surreal" describes many of my encounters in India.

    Zhoen, I'm still undecided whether the carbon emissions from jams like this were better or worse than those from the usual kind of traffic jams.

  6. Andrew — ha! They're generally docile and unafraid, though. However, I was lucky, unlike a couple of foreigners I met who encountered beasts that decided the best form of defence was attack. No real damage, just a bit of bruising.
