I love india!!!

Im writing from Jaipur, the pink city, in Rajasthan India....I am having the most amazing time in India, every moment is a beautiful gongshow!!

I have so so many stories and I will try and write a few, partly for you all, and also for me!!! We left Varanasi on an overnight train to Agra to check out the Taj Mahal.....ended up chatting and playing cards with a couple other backpackers so when we arrived sleepless to the Taj we were exhausted. My highlights of the day were the lawnmower at the Taj....2 large white bulls (?) pulling a man and a handmower type thing and all the many many (5 or 6) groups of people asking us to pose in photos with them, "one photo madam" We even had the guys restoring the builidng let us place the new marble on the building and take pics eventhough there was a sign saying no photos allowed!!! It really is an amazing building! From Agra we went to the train station to head to Jaipur, as we waited for the train to arrive we were surrounded by 30 or so guys, age 15-30, just staring at us and giggling, when we got on to the train they all swarmed at the window on the outside of the train where we were sitting, giggling, proposing marriage and confessing their love for us. The continued even after we told them about our many husbands in uzbekistan and kazakstan!! The Indian man beside us said "there must be something special about you girls because there are other tourists over there and they are not bothering them," I reckon the something special is that we are three blonde girls.

Arrived safe in Jaipur and it is so cool here!! Driving in the rickshaw today we saw and elephant heading down the road with all the cars,bikes,people, pigs, goats, monkeys, dogs and a a camel drawn cart.....so cool!!! We saw a goat today that had the colouring of a giraffe, just wait for a pic, its hilarious!!!

Tonight I had my #1 movie experience so far, in my life....we went to Chuck day (thats how it sounds), a bollywood field hockey movie. The cinema was like a lovely pink garishly decorated cake combined with disneyland... so so beautiful, it seated about 1400 people, mostly loud rowdy boys!! Watching the movie felt like being in the circus....people talk so loud, babies and children cry and cell phones ring. Everyone cheers, whoops,sings, screams, claps and whistles...it was the same as being at a live sports game, it was so unreal and utterly fascinating, and I suggest that everyone gets to experience this in their lives ;) I took pics and videos!!

And tonight I had my #1 McD's experience.....check out my pics on picasa, as I write Im adding a few more, but its quite slow....they had the #1 ugliest poster EVER and it made us all laugh so hard...so check out my pics to see......

oh I still have more to write.....we went to Heyy babyy, another movie while in Varanasi...It was hilarious, while at the mall we noticed that there were only men working in the mall, except for the female security guard, only men at Mc'ds, the cinema, everywhere, very strange to see....and McD's is meatless aside from chicken, so they replace the big mac with a chicken maharaja big mac, and have curry and veg burgers and other meatless treats ;)

Anyways I'd better head to bed, off to pushkar tomorrow, cant wait for more adventures!! hugs megs
