Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Posted on November 26, 2010 by KK

Jaipur, Rajasthan

November 21st – 23rd 2010

 Notes:

  • Tried to fake being Japanese because I was tired of having to answer ‘Malaysian’ when every Indian person assumes I’m Japanese, Korean or Chinese. So at a restaurant, an Indian came up to me and asked if I was Japanese. I decided to say ‘Yes’ but then he spoke some Japanese to me and I just replied ‘Yes’ again, sheepishly. He saw right through it and I had to clarify that I was indeed Malaysian. Backfire!
  • Lassi in terracotta cups, throw them away after I’m done.
  • Watched Bollywood film ‘Gomaal 3’ without English subs in Raj Mandir (supposedly the best cinema in all of India but it wasn’t THAT great looking). The movie was terrible. Walked out at intermission. Kareena Kapoor is hot though.
  • It was great to see Indians speaking foreign languages while giving tours. Have heard Japanese, Korean, Russian, German, French, and Italian so far. Very impressive and foreign sight to me.
  • Weather has been wet and chilly during the day but it’s especially chilly at night. I’m getting my own winter in this part of the world.
  • Amber Fort was pretty awesome. People were taking elephants to the top of the hill. The painted faces on some elephants made them pretty.
  • Never order food without knowing what you’re getting. I’ve done it several times in the past and it worked out but this time, I got a bunch of spicy, oily dishes. The aftermath was not good. Had stomach problems the entire night before having to catch a 6 am train to Agra, almost felt like missing the train to stay in bed. Had to take Pepto and Advil simultaneously twice over the course of the night. Thank God the pain subsided. I’m sick of Indian food. Will need a change once in a while.
  • I never realized I could go for a while without meat.
