No beer, oh shit

Hardwar, 17-03-1994. since Hardwar is a holy town close to Badinath and Joshimath and located at the holy river The Ganges -evrything and any place seems to be holy here in Holy India- the place has no meat, devout hindus do not eat meat and like i said the place is holy to hindus like Shiva himself. Now, the meat i can do without but no alcohol in the local restaurants.......that really pisses me off, not even a beer and wine shop to be seen, how am i supposed to survive the long and imense boring nights in my hotek room? At least the days are interesting withexcursions to the numerous temples, all these so-called holy cows searching the garbage rich streets for anything eatable are quite a sight as well, but then i have been seeing that stuff for most of my stay here in this chaotic country.
