<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 645850, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> Back in the 1960s when I went to India I saw thousands of silver workers in just about every major city I visited.

The worse was not being able to leave the hotel until 7AM. The streets had to cleaned up with all of the bodies that died during the night. It was the most exciting places that I had ever visited. My two other trips there were spent in the interior of India at small cities and villages. Where else would you find a 50 lb malachite boulder for 10 dollars???
