accommodation, particularly in rural areas. In remote communities pubs often serve a dual role, such as church or post office. So how has the pub evolved its unique role in English life?

Kanchenjunga Shimla este, pe lângă Darjeeling, cea mai cunoscută „Hill Station” din timpul ocupaţiei britanice.

Shimla era în această perioadă datorită numeroşilor funcţionari ai aparatului de stat, capitala administrativă a Indiei. Astăzi este o destinaţie de călătorie îndrăgită de tinerii căsătoriţi.
