Jalgaon

This was just a connection town, where I had a 4.50am train to catch, but found a dorm bed for 100rs ($2) with the help of a helpful French Canadian (who insists on only spending a max of 150rs for a nights stay), and managed to enjoy touring the town with him, a rather more seasoned India traveler.

This included getting a guided tour around a supermarket by its manager, including introductions to all the staff, explanations about the products, and seeing every last corner of his shop- it was very funny indeed.

We also visited a brand new mall, that seemed very out of place in this dusty market town, but I guess it means there is money to made in the area. It was full of the usual teenagers that all malls seem to attract.
