"Ar-e Yaar!"

We just left Jaipur in Rajastan! It was a nice place - interesting things to see but man the people were annoying. There were a ridiculous number of "hawkers" at every tourist site which was super irritating and exhausting. We took an elephant ride up to Amber fort, the former palace of the king of Jaipur and the entire ride, there were people trying to sell us things. The only cool thing was a young kid who was playing nice music as we rode to the top of the fort.


We saw a bollywood movie in Hindi (w/o subtitles) in the famous Raj Mandir cinema in the Diamond class but it still wasn't as nice as the theatres in Bangkok. The movie we saw was "New York" so thank god there were enough english bits that we could follow along and of course it was worth seeing a movie with John Abraham!

Didn't do too much shopping here - just a bhandani saree and some more bangles! We still have to get Adam a shervani but probably gonna have to wait til we get to Delhi!
