3/18 Indian Parcel Post

Today was my second visit to an Indian post office.  First was in Kerela mid February.  As I write this, all 3 of the packages I've sent home have reached their destinations with all of their original contents.  I'm still amazed.  Each visit took about three hours.  Once you get the form to fill out, you then have to take your package to a tailor.  They wrap it in thin canvas, sew the entire package up and seal it with red wax.  The finished product is straight out of the 40's.  Even though I sent some great little gifts to my family, it was the packaging that they can't stop talking about;).  Gotta luv it.
