The chilled vetiver water from the mud pots. Can keep drinking it all day long on a burning hot summer day.<BR/><BR/>Any yea, every country you visit, where ever you are, you get different types of aroma, sometimes you love it, sometimes you prefer it not. And you carry bits of memories of such aromas for a long time. But then the strong smells that you have savored back home will be a part of you... for a lifetime.
