I've been in India for a week, and it's been fantastic. What's great about this trip is it has a mix of sightseeing and visiting friends whom I haven't seen in a while.
Here's my trip itinerary:
- New Delhi (flying from HK), visiting Adi and Anu, seeing Old Delhi
- Agra, seeing the Taj Mahal
- Darjeeling, going to Tiger Hill, Riding the Toy Train
- Kolkata, visiting Varun
- Amritsar, seeing the Golden Temple, Going to the India/Pakistan Border for their "changing of the guard"
- Udaipur, visiting the Lake Palace and Jain Temples
- New Delhi (flying back to HK)
Here are some pictures from my first stop in New Delhi, my travel hub while I'm in India.

I got to meet up with Anu, whom I knew from ME masters, was also in town for a few weeks.

I've known Adi since freshman year, so it was definitely good catching up. Here's a picture of us at his place, where he's introduced me to black salt/black pepper/lemon grilled corn on the cob. Way better than just butter!

Here is the Qutb Minar, the world's tallest brick minaret from, contruction started in 1193 (

Lotus Temple at night (
