Visiting theĀ Nahargarh Fort overlooking Jaipur. Unfortunately we have pretty dismal views from the Durg cafe. Oh well, at least they have beer.
Visiting the Taj Mahal, the COOLEST THING EVER! Its probably just the hype around it, but it really is an unbelievable feeling to be standing right there.
Talking about this and that – getting scammed, you know the usual. We didn’t know it at the time, but we were under massive culture shock in Delhi, India.

A Jenia led tour of our neighborhood inside the old city of Chiang Mai — ends up at a massage center at the Wat Sum Pao, where an hour of Thai massage will only run you 130 baht, or $4. Amazing.
