Whirlwind Tour of India’s Golden Triangle

After conference, a bunch of us headed to Jaipur to do a bit of sightseeing. I met a great bunch of people from all over the world (Mumbai/Bangalore/Delhi, India; Kenya; Poland) whom we went to Jaipur with. Hanging out and chilling with great friends after the conference was just what I needed!!! Unfortunately, our time came to an end and the Bombay-ites had to return home. I'm going to miss those guys so much (and don't they know it!!!), but I hope to go to Mumbai for my AIESEC DT next year. Here's hoping!

A couple of us went along to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and Fatepur Sikri (minus the Sikri part - we didn't have time!):

Taj Mahal

The Taj at sunrise was beautiful. Pictures can't capture the serenity of the time we spent there.

If anyone reading this goes to Agra, make sure to check out the food at "Joneys Place" in the Taj Ganj area - the Malai Kofta and Aloo Parantha are divine!!!

Manny, Sharmila and I spent today in Delhi wandering around and doing a bit of shopping. We're flying out this evening to Bangkok, and straight on to Koh Samui for the Full Moon Party.

Priceless

Hotel room in Jaipur: 216r
Bus trip from Behror to Jaipur: 500r
Having the bus break down in the middle of the night and having to push it on four different occasions: priceless

Pushing the bus

Despite the dire situation, we all managed to see the humour in it. :)

IDC 2006 - Woo!

IDC 2006 - Woo!

So AIESEC's IDC 2006 has now finished (on the 30/11), and we're all coming down off our high of 8 days of packed sessions, parties (which resulted in less than 4 hours sleep a night for the week… ergh). It was an amazing week, where I met tons of inspiring, fascinating, exciting people! I've got a bunch of ideas rushing through my head at the moment - I still need time to digest and comprehend them. (Er… longer post forthcoming.) The above photo shows the delegates at the conference (around 60 - 70, from over 20 countries).
