Taj Mahal




I finally made it to Agra, after a long journey I arrived to the city where is placed one of the symbols of human kind. Impressive buildings, perfect proportions. I couldn't spent all the time i would there because the indian army took the place for security reasons, Sarkozy "le gauloise" was coming. He came to Delhi to attend the militar parade of the Republic day. Sarkozy is the hero that will save the decadent european civilization, and all what is required to ensure his safety is never enough.

India


Elefant


Singh

Jaipur, capital of Rajasthan. In this city seems that the meaning of the word "cosmopolitan" is wider. It is a place where dogs, elephants, camels, pigs, cows, rats, monkeys and human beings coexist without problem. Sometimes, I just was not able to distinguish between them.












































>What's in there?

>Summer palace



In Jaipur we stayed in a modest hotel that was a palace of the XVIIIth century.












>Puppet show























auto rickshaw


We use to take rickshaws as an eficient and cool mean of transportation. Angelina and Brad stayed over a month in Pune and this guy told us that they had ride in his rickshaw,...another lie.

Bollywood



















I started my stay in India, in the Mecca of cinema Mumbai, sometime known as Bombay, now a Gin. I spent my first weekend in India in the 33th floor of Hotel Hilton Towers Mumbai with a perfect view of Marina Drive and the smog over the Arabian sea.






This city is absolutely crazy, having the same population as Netherlands, is the maximum representation of chaos on Earth. Although, it seems that living there is impossible, it has something very atracting.


>Our chofer



> This girl was staring at me just in front of Shahrukh Khan "bungalow", the most famous Bollywood actor. The most notorious indian after Gandhi, for sure.

Haussmania

Before going to India, I spent few days is Paris, visiting a friend Eva from my University who is working working hard in the Spanish embassy, promoting the spanish economy. For what she explained to me i can tell that Spain is a country with a prosperous future.

































The first and maybe the only surprise of the trip was meeting my friend from my school times Jose Andres in the que for the flight check-in, just next to me. We flew togheter and the next day I met him and Mar, my neighbour who's sutuding biology in Paris for lunch. It was a very interesting combination of characters placed togheter in Paris, more when i never see them in home.
