Today went to another castle called Amber Fort. Getting there was a nightmare! The guide book suggested taking a bus, but no bus has any English sign. I asked around but nobody knew what I was talking about. Later I found out it pronounced "Ameh". Arrrg. Anyway, I can't believe someone tricked me to get on a bus and went to a travel agency! Lucky some good souls eventually pointed me back to the right way. Today was so hot, I think I drank a whole litre of water without going to the washroom. I skipped lunch again becasue it was too hot.
The guide book says India is a place of contrast. I find it is true with people as well. I've met some very bad people. Yet I've met some very kind and good people. I've had people making way for me to seat because I'm traveling a longer way. I've had people provided genuine help to me.
I find people always look at me in a strange way, like looking at an odd looking animal or something. Maybe they don't see a lot of Asians here. It makes me feel uncomfortable.
I also find it strange that often the opening greeting phase is "Which country from?" I usually say China, so if they ask for money and stuff, I can pretend I don't understand.
