Close your eyes
Give me your hand darlin
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Or am I only dreaming
Is this burning, an eternal flame..

I know I'm such a lazy ass when it comes to writing something but I thought this one deserved my time. Everything is still pretty much in my head. So here's what should happen to you when you go to Agra:

You come off from Bhopal Shatabdi at almost 8am, a bunch of foreigners go to tourist information center to find out that the first tour starts from 10am. So you decide you don't wanna wait any longer and are just gonna take a cab to the Taj Mahal yourself. You walk out and see a prepaid taxi booth so you think umm you should try there but only to find out it's not the best idea. So then you walk further and there're many guys trying to sell you tours and stuff but you just choose an auto rickshaw, tell him it's 20 Rupees to go to the Taj. The driver says OK but after he takes off for a bit, he will try to tell you that he can take you around Agra really cheap. Now this is your chance to say yes or no. I'd say you can actually save a few bucks if you only get a rickshaw from one place to another but it doesn't hurt to just take his offer as well. He can be helpful at times trying to get rid of some people.

OK my mood of writing is over for today, I'll continue this later.

I thought the place was a rip off, it was expensive, and a tourist trap...I was not expecting to be eating with the locals, but the waiters were dressed like officials of the bengali army food was bland http://adegreeaday.blogspot.com/

So you finally made it here!!! Great pics of the Taj Mahal!!! Sorry about the waiter asking for tips, that is a sad part of Indian tourism which needs to be addressed immediately!!!!
