What interesting places have you visited or lived in?

This is hard to put into words. I was all of 8 years old when we arrived in India, and the first city (the one we arrived at) was Calcutta. To his dying day my father swore he did not do it on purpose, but on the first days excursion out of our hotel, we wound up in the "black hole of Calcutta". There are no words in any language to accurately describe this place, take the most poverty stricken place you can think of in the U.S.A. or Europe, and it would look like a billion dollars in comparison. This by the way is where mother Teresa had her mission. India taught me to never linger long at any pity party.
