"At 7,000 feet above sea-level lies a small town in the Indian state of West Bengal. This town overlooks the Himalayan mountain range and is where the best tea in the world comes from. Of this town wrote Mark Twain: 'The one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once by even a glimpse would not give that glimpse for the shows of the rest of the world combined.'
"The town is Darjeeling." -- www.zubin.com |
