March / Kolkata / Scenes from around Kolkata

I spent the month of March in Kolkata, teaching English by way of a TEFL certification course. I found Kolkata to be a really nice place - beautiful old buildings, taxis with working meters, sidewalks, trees, lakes. While the poverty and pollution are for real, on balance the city doesn't seem to deserve the bad reputation.

The following pages include photos of street vendors, hand-pulled rickshaws, and other scenes and buildings from around town.
