Description
Monsoon House Family Travels in India by Alice Trembour
"Family Travels in India" is the perfect guide for western families heading for south Asia, either for stays of only several weeks, or for longer-term visits of several years. Based on her experience living for a year with her husband and three children in western India, Alice Trembour's stories both illustrate the rich opportunism of travel with children, as well as the preparations--material and otherwise--that wise parents will make so that their childrens' experience is the best one possible. Travel with children in south Asia is an instant ice-breaker for meetings with people in these countries, and will immeasurably enhance one's own travel experience. In describing what she sees in her day-to-day life with her family in the city of Ahmedabad, Ms. Trembour not only clarifies the many questions and concerns of parents heading for travel in distant cultural venues, but also illustrates the richness of daily life in an Asian urban setting.
