Recordist's notes

On my way up to Kinnaur and Spiti valley, I stayes a couple of days in the very busy and british himalayan city of Shimla. Walking down the market lane was interesting as it was a pedestrian alley. No cars... recorded with a Sony Minidisc player and a Sony ECM-MS957 mic (traveling light for long trips).
