Incredible India!

Okey let's summarise our trip to India before mak proceed with story mory lakaran perjalanan weols selama beberapa hari di sana. It's quite hectic considering even to travel from city to city, that took us around 5 hours each time (Delhi-Jaipur-Agra can be considered as equal distant from each other).

And the motto goes - Incredible India. Well, well, well...

It was INCREDIBLE indeed in every sense of the way!

India is incredible because:

1) The country is rich in culture and history hence the monuments and the temples/ mosques.

2) The country is incredible when you can drive as you like how you like and which ever lanes you like BUT still work out perfectly! The cities are congestive and full of traffic jam (Delhi - 13m people, Agra 1.5 million and Jaipur 2.5 million)

3) Incredible to see humans and animals could live and work side by side everyday. This can easily be seen in Jaipur where camels, elephants, stray dogs, donkeys, horses and even wild pigs roam freely within human existence. Hat yang berterabur baring atas sampah sarap dan dok cari apa ke benda dalam sampah pun berlana (merata gawa)!

4) Incredible divisions in the society - very huge gap between the very rich and the very poor. You hardly see anything in the middle. For example the Holiday Inn in Agra where we stayed was a grand hotel indeed and beside the hotel, we could see a few families living and built houses made out of straws or muds on top of drainage system!

5) Incredible how the sellers try to suck the money out of the visitors as much as they can hence the need of the skills in bargaining etc. Everywhere you go, you have to give tips.

6) Incredible how the toilets in their main gateway to their country from all over the world was not in hygienic condition. This was experienced by Avang..sampai tak jadi nak cikyak katanya...semua benda terkumpul kat dalam lobang toilet ittew..EWWWW!!!!!

7) Incredible how experiencing travelling in the country made you feel how fortunate you are to have a decent job, a few cash every now and then and to have a nice home to live in....

In short..everything was incredible. You have to go and see it to experience it....

Yang fenting, weols dosi pandang dan kagumzz dengan Taj Mahal ittew.....


Tu diah....



Also it's incredible how a short person like me could put my hand right on top of the Taj Mahal's dome hiks.....

We're glad we've been there but it's not the place we'll rush to go back again..I will story WHY soon!
