Agra is the town where Taj Mahal is, and today is the last day I'm here. Went to a near-by city today called Fatahpur where an old palace is. It is surrounded by ruins. Other than the main castle, seems the entire city is built on top of the old ones, where ruins are coexisting with the new town. Where once were busy market, now desserted. Where once were nothing, now is full of people. For the first time in India, I was actually able to find a place where there were not one person! It was a ruin area behind the castle. I have not had this kind of peacefulness for a long time. The only thing lacking is fresh air.
Today had my first Indian bus experience. It was all the bad things everybody ever heard about. And I know it could be worst. There weren't Indian Karaoke at least. I have no idea how I'm gonna survive an upcoming 10 hr bus ride next week!! I hope I can get on an up class one.
I'm starting to get very tired of the word 'Hello' from the kids, it actually traslates to 'Can you give me some money' 70% of the time.
I think I'm getting used to the chaotic noises here. I find myself able to think about something else when all those noises are happening.
My room is a non-AC room where I could here all the people, cars, beeping noises plus the Islamic chanting from the loud speaker. But I'm surprised I'm able to get a decent sleep. Maybe I'm just too tired.
Tomorrow gonna catch a 6am train, and enter the dessert province of Rajasthan. I hope there will be ricksaws that early to take me to the train station.
