Chapter 16

Summary:
Manny decides to travel to India and there he's surprised how different India and England are. He's very surprised of the heat in India and of armed guards, too. His parents meet a couple who also want to go to Punjab. Manny is smoking a fag in the toilet and after that they eave the airport and the first thing Manny sees is that in India, a country of which his old man thinks it's the best in the world, are many beggars. He starts to realize that his life could be much worse as he sees little children living on the streets. After a 10 hours flight they have to continue their tour by driving about 8 hours bus and taxi. The streets are in a very bad shape and because it seems that in India are no driving rules, Manny is sure that he'll die, every time an other car or truck drives along.
