part two...better read this thorougly, took me hours to finish.


L
ike any other lazy blogger in the world...i shall just post pictures and captions to complete my part 2 of india! muahahah....it's less time consuming for both the readers and the blogger...so its a win win situation!

After i got back from Kashmir, we took a bus to Jaipur known as the Pink City. U wanna know why its called the Pink City? coz every building in that town is in PINK! I think May Zhee would love that city since its pink, so i suggest she should live in Jaipur and marries a retarded Indian and have psycho semi white semi black children. MUAHAHAHAHA I'm feeling very evil today.

I visited a place called The Amber fort. A fort is basically a building used for defence. In that fort, the king lives there. It's ok, but not so much of fun so here are the PICTURES!


The garden in the palace....




The people there are poor until she asked me for money after taking her pic. I like her in this pic. It looks magical but scary at the same time.



Then, the last day in Jaipur we visited the sundials museum! So far in Jaipur, that was my most favourite place, coz everything was intriguing there. They taught us how to look at the time old fashion way, using SHADOWS! haha and of boy the clock was huge! The biggest in the world too one of them.



This is the biggest sundial in the world. Stands at 70 feet from the ground, and has the accuracy of two seconds. That means the shadows on the sundial moves every two second to show the time. I think the person standing there is Kah Mun's uncle! Demonstrating the clock!



These are the 12 percussion used to look at the stars of the zodiacs. Each at the top has different angles to suit the latitude of Jaipur and the stars on the sky. Complicating i say.


In that museum, they even have percussion to look at the stars of the zodiacs. In this pic, im sitting on the percussion used to look at the cancer stars. Mine is the only one that is straight on the top, and i forgot the reason why.


After Jaipur we took a bus again to Agra! Agra has something special because, it has TAJ MAHAL! But we wont go there just yet.

The first day we got to Agra we visited a mosque, but for goodness sake, i forgot what its called. Wait i know it now, its called Fatehphur Sikri and it was built by one of the Mughol king called Akhbar. Akhbar (muslim), married a Hindu, Christian and a Muslim. Somehow, all of the wives couldnt repocreate, so he prayed hard to god for a child and he had a son called Jahangir.

He built these monument for his son. It was even said that, if u throw flowers on his tomb, tie a ribbon on the gate and make a wish it would 100% come true. Unbelievable...


On the ground are tombs. Take a close look and u will see the tombs. Kah Mun and I just stepped and crossed over it like nobody's business. It was because we dont expect tombs to be that out in the open.

Look at my tummy! Gosh!



Here is the good part, the next day we went to Taj Mahal! The Taj Mahal is just so breath taking!..Everything is made out of white marble, and every carving or every designs on the wall were made out of semi precious stones. Nothing less, but could be more, possibly some out of gold and diamond.

As i mentioned above, those carvings above that covers most part of Taj Mahal, were made out of Rubies and other semi precious stones.

Here is an interesting fact, everyone in that pic, either married but cant have kids, or still single and doesn't have kids. Im growing sceptical of my grammar. Is that 'either or' sentence right? But nevertheless, the ladies there are such sweet people. The love having Kah Mun and i around! It was like we're thier sisters or kids...





I cant help but mention, i look small beside him! hahahah...

The day after, we made our journey to Delhi for shopping and sight seeing. We went to alot of monuments, temple and mosque. Too many to put it up here...but i'll just post it...


One thing i like about India is, they are very passionate about cricket. Doesnt matter in every part of India, wether Kashmir, Jaipur, Agra or Delhi, whenever there is a vacant field or spot, they'll take our thier balls and bats, gather around and play CRICKET! This was after sembahyang jumat in Delhi..





This is the Jamma mosque, we had lots of complication to get there. We got there by india tut tut...its was fun and wild.

On that day itself, after looking at the mosque we had quick shopping, headed for dinner, then to airport and reached Malaysia the next day at 12pm...*sobs*

I am India bound.
