Hi from India! update my blog for a day or two.
Hi from India! Well, after all the Take care!
preparation and planning, weve Lisa x
finally made it to India. And it has
been a real culture shock! Chris and I
are currently sitting in a little Internet
caf in Agra. Were about five minutes
from the Taj Mahal, and were both
really looking forward to visiting it
later today. Ive read so much about it
and seen so many pictures. I think its
going to be amazing. Its very hot, so
its a relief to be inside somewhere
nice and cool.
We arrived in Delhi on Sunday, and
we spent the next couple of days
visiting a few sights. We went to a
beautiful mosque, and we walked
around some old ruins. It was very hot
and crowded, and the roads were so
busy with cars, trucks, and buses
everywhere! Ive never seen so much
traffic in my life. But the people are
so friendly, and the food is amazing.
Weve eaten in a few of the street
restaurants. The food is fantastic
and its so cheap! We had some
vegetarian food in a caf near our
hotel yesterday. The food was great
and the people were so nice. I think if
you only eat in western restaurants
and stay in western hotels, you wont
experience the real India.
Weve seen lots of rickshaws, the
little bicycle taxis but we havent
ridden in one yet. I dont know how
the poor rickshaw drivers have the
energy to cycle across the city all day.
We usually take a taxi or try and get
on a bus, but that isnt so easy.
Theyre so crowded that its hard to
squeeze yourself in.
Im enjoying every minute of being
here. I think India is the most
interesting country Ive ever been to.
Ive only been here for five days but it
feels like longer. Were taking the
