Hi everybody,
At last I could have left Pushkar and came to Agra after a small visit to Ajmer. There's not much thing to tell about Ajmer. I had no time to see every touristic place. Only Jain Red Temple, in which golden models depicting the Jain concept of the ancient world are in it. I have to say they were fascinating. I will probably upload the photos tomorrow after shooting Taj Mahal - Don't expect to much by the way, cause the windows of the hall was closed.
As I mentioned about Agra, I'd like to say few words. After seeing Jaipur, this city (around 1,5 mio pop.) is seemed to me very friendly. Especially, around Taj Mahal there are lots of gardens and the people are really much more kind and helpful. I'm staying in a family's guest house (Friends Paying Guest House - near eastern gate of Taj Mahal) and Vicar (Father) and his 9 year old son, Hari, are so friendly. To ask people on the road about directions is just enough to be asked whether they can drop you.
I'll spare all my time to Taj Mahal tomorrow for photographing. I have never seen such a heroic building up to now; just seeing it from a few kms away makes me get very excited.
Hope to see you tomorrow,

- At the age of 29, I resigned from my Account Supervisor position in a media agency after almost 2,5 years in order to have a trip starting from India ( Sri Lanka, Nepal and hopefully South East Asian countries and maybe more ). Such a travel has been in my dreams for almost 10 years since my first solo foreign travel covering England and Scotland in '97. I have to say that after my Spain, Portugal and Morocco trip in '00, I've forgotten the pleasure of the preparation process and the excitement such travel arouses. I never will!
