Awhile back I mentioned this to some of my friends. Look above, it's the majestic sweet beauty of Poo. That's right, POO. It's a small town in Northern India in the state of Himachal Pradesh with a population of just over 1000. According to WikiPedia (god at times I hate habitually getting my info from there) Poo town is "renowned for its natural beauty, green fields, apricot orchards, vineyards and almond trees. Inscriptions suggest that Poo was an important trading center in the early 11th century." There are some cool ancient temples and shrines there as well. So the general idea is, are tourists going to want to travel to a place called Poo? Probably not. Compound that with the fact it is a small town in a remote location, and most people don't even know it exists to begin with, and boom...you have the perfect chillout hideaway. It sounds like a really nice place to get lost. A lot of places get spoiled by too much tourism and commercialism, you know? Perhaps in a future article I will report on a whole buncha towns and cities with bizzare and silly names.
