India - Day 13 - Agra’s Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri, and Jaipur

The Taj, is, well, is, eh… damn, it’s gorgeous. I can’t find anything new and interesting to say but that it’s, eh… damn, it’s gorgeous. It really is.

We woke up early, really early, and made our way to the Taj Mahal and spent a few hours there. I’ve already found myself a new hobby in India of trying to make friends with the few Taiwanese that I met along the way, and Agra was the first place I actually saw them, in big groups. It was great.

Our new annoying pan betel-nut chewing driver packed us up and we took off to Fatehpur Sikri where the bastard played us into a really really obnoxious guide, but even he didn’t spoil that place for it. History, lots of history.

And then… long long hours on the way to Jaipur where we went for some shopping tours with our driver, who - by that time - was already flying high above on what ever that thing in his mouth was releasing into his empty brains.

But the real attraction that night was, surprisingly enough, eh… Pizza Hut. We got so tired of India food, that we decided on Pizza, and what we found in there we really weren’t expecting. Here’s the Indian Pizza Hut experience video for you:

    This is a shot in the dark, but are you classmates with Eduardo from Peru at NKCU?

    Edu is in the IMBA program in IIM-NCKU. I’m doing a PhD in the same department as Edu and I know him.

    Then you must be the one Edu told me about yesterday. I’m his friend who is doing the Passover Sedar and I told him you can come if you’d like. Send me an email and I’ll give you all the information if you want to come.
