some famous water castle somewhere, low tide = not able to visit
famous building, it's red and it has 953 windows.
females are not allowed to talk to men so thru these windows, girls would flirt and look thru them back in the days. when the windows are open, they chime and hence "building of wind or something"
Another building and we had to take elephants.
from the bottom of the hill, people would talk to you for a good 15 mins to get you to buy 3 dollars worth of postcards. (while u're on the elephants and shitting all over the floor, they'll be chasing you ducking the shit)
very nice structures, the arches
eg// u know they always have a picture of some chick with an elephant head, here's a brief short 'take it with a grain of salt verison"
some myth figure was taking a shower and while she was asking the kid to look out for her, another kid was peeking thru a window looking at her showering. She then found out and cut off the head of the child (not knowing the kid was another kid of her own). Anyhoo, long story short, she said to go out to the forest and with her magic powers, she'll glue the head of the first creative you see and it was an elephant, that's why there are always pics of an elephant head mythical pictures all over India / statues...
looking thru the windows
tons of kids asking for money, one kid almost stole my dad's mont blanc pen and my dad grabbed his arm and yelled at him.
museum for some astronomy which using the sun, would tell you which sign you are.
they also had some world largest sundial which was down to the closest 10 seconds.. ~yawn
carpet making
you're not allowed to wear shoes, so you had to take them off
more building structures.
this was simply amazing. all of them were diff shapes, really mind blowing. (not just one window neither)
"why aren't there any zoos in india"
"it's called the streets"
everyday, we would see all the creatures in the 12 zodiacs (except for dragons)
People tend to NOT fix things in India, they just let things rot and fall apart. DOesn't help when you see 30 + people peeing everyday everywhere.
more buildings
Entrance to Taj Mahal, queen was about to die, and she asked the king to not remarried. he said yes. took him 21 years to build in remembrance of her.
entrance, it doesn't look so big but DAMN, look at how TINY we are in the pics.
no shoes, white marble eveywhere, all shipped from 300KM away and we are talking about many many years ago.
i'm so tiny
after like the 5 monument you're like meh. but taj mahal is huge.
some chick did hanna
like france they have an arch in remembrance of some war.
some place also, and people usually sit here to wash their feet.
India is NOT a vacation, it's an experience.
Curry 3 times a day for 6 days, and it's a MILD laxative.
India will never grow, there are no places I want to visit no more, all these buildings were built many years before and if it wasn't for this, it would be nothing.
oh, fun facts, ganges river is a river with vitamins from A-Z and it's as polluted as an industrial water sewage and yet people still use the water to cook, shower and use it as a toilet. It's told people must visit it once in their lifetime.
Will post my China and Hong Kong trip later.
