Sikkim is primarily an agrarian society, with agriculture and tourism two of its main industries. Outside of Gangtok, the capital, most homes seemed to have a good sized garden and a few livestock - a goat or two, a cow and chickens. In addition, there were lots of friendly dogs and cats - and some interesting bovine creatures known as 'joes'. They are a cross between a d0mestic cow and a yak, and are used mostly as pack animals for trekkers in the Himalayas. (That's them up near the top of this post - getting their medicine in one picture!)

On Friday evening Chennai swung to the beats of Latin music at the Salsa Concert. The Indian Council for Cultural relations and The Embassy of Columbia together organized a music concert by the band Chocquibtown as part of the Second Colombian Cultural Week in India. Chocquibtown has been nominated for the Grammy Award in the category of Best Latin American Band in 2009.The band was great and had the audience dancing and swaying to the music almost right from the beginning of the performance. I was there and had a brilliant time! If you feel you missed out on this one.. then you may read HERE about the show for a better insight. Have fun !
