An interesting read. Deciding whether to museums or shrines to atrocities is always difficult -- thanks for portraying it. Enjoy your break and travels (and work) in India 💕 And thank goodness Richard has a picky eye -- I’ve left that job to him as I glide over any typos, etc and enjoy the journey.

Thanks Maureen, yes, Richard is on the job! Writing about the genocide museum was possibly even more powerful on reflection. There's a good article about the photos at the bottom of the footnotes.

The horror. And Vang’s refusal to engage with it. This chapter, alongside current events, makes me want to weep.

Yes. And we always say and hear ' it must not happen again' and yet it goes on happening.

That is not to say the travelogue isn’t interesting, it is. Found the murder museum stuff compelling. A small, picky picky point, story as in three storeys tall, used a couple of times, has an ‘e’ in it. Enjoy India. I did.
