Im just hoping the company I am with will splash out and get me a seat.
Agra is the home of the famous Taj Mahal, the most desperate attempt in history by a man to win the affections of a callous woman. It should be interesting.
Yesterday, we spent the day in a cab, riding around Delhi and seeing some of the sights. Every time we stepped out of the cab we were surrounded by hawkers, hawking this, hawking that. They have a special name in India.. cant remember what it is, but it might be "Small Business Owners".. or something similar. (Touts actually)
Auto Rickshaws Galore..
Afterwards, one of the girls and I went for a walk into the local marketplace, it was pretty intense.. the only comparison I could make to it is that it looks like Time Square in New York, except with more people, more noise, dirtier streets and after a large war. It was really cool though, having to dodge various cars, bikes, touts and basically everything else was a good experience and one that should stick with me for the next couple of minutes.

Dude, I totally miss you.
ps. I laughed that the experience will stick with you for the next couple of minutes. You funny.
Hey cam - love the pic of you!
I was told when I was there the hawkers actually rent the babies they carry for the day - they just drug them so they dont make any noise... better chance of getting money if you see them holding a baby...
thats the way of the world...

Did you take Shantaram with you? It's a really good book- nice and thick with lots of pages. Perfect for emergencies.
