@SmoothKnight you are so bad....🥰

@wrule wow...thank you. i forgot about beef! i know that the bargaining is tough but it can't be any worse than Egypt...that was a tough country. i have most of the shots required.

@akindheart Most welcome as my would-be friend, as I shall be travelling to your country soon. Shall connect with you by PM. Yes. Taj Mahal is a breathtaking spectacular. I would suggest you prepare well for the virgin sight by avoiding all other peeks that tourist guide. Inform early that your first sight has to be from a point where there is no other eye sore. The best view is from Agra fort where Shah Jahan was imprisoned during his final days. So look down as much until your tour guide says "Now You can" ..

I do not know how it is now, as my last visit was some 20 years ago.. infested with beggars & photographers. Ensure that no one nears your group. And spend as much time wandering alone and not even let others in your group influence you. Selfies are the worst way to spoil the experience. Reserve it towards the end after completing one full round.

Also do not evaluate other forts lesser thinking about Taj Mahal. Fathepur Sikri / Sheesh Mahal reflect a lifestyle that Taj does not.

@in10RjFox the Taj is the greatest love story ever known to mankind. that is how i am going to look at it with the love that it was built with.

i heard that the beggars are really bad and to not give them anything.

@akindheart
Well your tour group can pool some funds , convert to Indian Rupees in 10 rupee notes and make the Driver of your vehicle keep giving them a note each .. on the condition that they DND you ... 😀

@Ramrod i know right?? i think they cremate people in that river so there are all kinds of stuff in there...not for me. i know there is extreme poverty but can't wait to see the country

@Ramrod seriously dude?

Have you ever been here..

@braveheart21 boy don't you know it!!

Just be safe honey.. Enjoy the experience of a culture as old as time itself 🤗🤗😘@akindheart

@Thrust don't forget 7-11

@saragoodtimes

True dat. And in the VHS era they ran all the peep shows. Especially in Times Square

I think they kept 30+ vhs's running in perpetuity!

@saragoodtimes oh gosh..7-11 were so popular in thailand. this mother an son were eating the sushi there...ugh

@myotherlife i need to retire too but the money is too good.

A happy life is way more important than the money... I realised that after i retired last November... You only live once no matter what Ian Fleming and James Bond say 😂😂@akindheart

@akindheart I understand that, it is my biggest hurdle

@Royricky09 i am going alone but joining a tour group. the hotels they chose seem pretty good but i heard to not give any money to the beggars or they will swarm me

@come2gether i completely forgot about the beef restriction. chicken it is.

@wrule Take some pics,is it country or big city ?

@Ramrod 3 cities called the Golden Triangle. Agra, New Delhi and Jaipur. i sure will take pics.

@therighttothink50 sure will.

@therighttothink50 yes
