exploring Delhi

on the back of the Ghost Rider Javed we were heading to Delhi

went to see the Humayun's Tomb, which was the same architect as for the

Taj Mahal

the similarities are quite noticable

we took some great shots at the India Gate, the place dedicated to all the warriors who died in World War II

Funny was when I asked an Indian to take a picture of us, he wanted to take one with me too. First I thought he wants me to take a pic of them, but then I realized that he really wanted to take it with me. But instead of taking the India Gate in the background they just wanted to have me on, hehehe. Felt like a superstar, jejeje

As a matter of fact, non-Indians get looked at quite heavily. Whereas at white guys they just look, at our friend Julie from France they literaly stare, tall and blond haired as she is...

Next we went to a Sikh Temple, which was a really impressive experience. Sure we had to gett off our shoes and cover our heads. The atmosphere in the temple was really nice. And just as the Punjab themselves we sat down and praied. Although I don't need a temple to say please and thank you, I still enjoyed having that peaceful moment in such a hectic and lively city.

After that we went to Akshardam, the biggest Hindu Tempel in the World constructed by Swaminarayan. It was quite a hassle to get in there. We had to deposit everything, from cel phones to camera to bags and guns... So although it is a really beautiful place, that's why there is only one picture about it. Still, to me it was more like a museum than a temple, since there was no space to sit down and pray. People just walked around in the temple, watching the statues, paintings and impressive ceilings and walls.

Almost starving after that, Javed took me to the best kebab place in town before heading back to Gurgaon, which takes only about 25min by bike compared to the 50min by car or 1.5 hours by bus.

I'm full with more impressions and observations about the daily life, which I hope to find the time to post them soon...
