Went to see India's beloved Taj Majal this weekend. As I expected, the hype was a little bit much. Don't get me wrong, the building was beautiful, but so is the Freiburg Muenster, or the Minnesota state capitol building.
The story isn't even that charming. The king was a "lascivious old bastard" who had many, many wives. He only liked this one more because she bore his only son. The kicker, the son sent him to prison because he thought his fater was crazy for spending so much money.
Tee Hee Hee.
The hawkers were kinda fun, if you learned to laugh at how persistent they were. Constantly tugging your arm and saying "Hello, hello sir."
