After crossing the border from Nepal back into India, the bus to the next major town with a train station was full and overflowing, so I opted for a "share jeep". I, two other passengers, and the driver, crammed ourselves into the two front seats of the jeep. In the process, I tore a couple of good rips in the front of the leg of my jeans. The next day, in Varanasi, while going to a restaurant near my hotel, I noticed a man and his son with a little tailor shop tucked under the stairway going up to the restaurant. I came back later and had the son patch up my jeans. He did a fine job for 30 rupees, and I gave him a 20 rupee tip that overwhelmed him (total of a bit over one dollar).
