I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo

Oh no amateur traveler episode 477.

Today the Amateur Traveler talks about bazaars and forts,

cricket and the palaces of the Nizam,

as we go to Hyderabad, India.

I know that I should be heading home,

but maybe not, maybe not today.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen and without further

ado let's talk about India. I'd like to welcome back to the show Sean Whiting. Sean came on the show in

episode 115 to talk about his great love for Sweden and meanwhile he has been

unfaithful to Sweden. Sean is now coming to us from Hyderabad, India,

where you've been living for what, five years now, Sean?

I have been living here about four years.

Four years. I really can't imagine a place more different from Scandinavia than India or South Asia.

And Sean is working with a local NGO there, but has come to talk to us about being a tourist in

Hyderabad. Sean, welcome to the show.

Thank you, Chris.

Pleasure to be here.

I was wondering if now I win some sort of amateur traveler award

for longest length of time between shows or something.

Oh, I don't know. I'm not sure who that would be or I'll have to look that one up.
