Day 10 and 11

Day 10

We went on a Delhi city tour and went to the super modern Lotus Temple. The whole temple was in the shape of a, well, lotus and was whiter that white. All around there was greenery, something rare in India. Tropical trees, trees from temperate countries and desert shrubs were all mixed up. It looked odd but I'm not complaining as all these contribute to fresh air! We said a prayer in the temple and left.

We then went to another relic site where a tall free-standing sandstone tower was. Again, the structure was like the Red Fort, as of all of the buildings built at that period. It was quite fun, as we clambered up and down some old rocks.

At night, we went to some light and sound display. It was quite boring. It was just lighting up some lights in the building and listening to a story. We were quite glad that we left as the weather was very cold.

Hell.

Day 11

The girls from Uttam School hosted us today. Personally, I found it quite fun. The parents of the girls picked us up from the school and we went to the girl's house to play. Haha. It was two boys to one host and me and my "partner" played a board game with the host girl before we had lunch. After a good lunch, which with luck, was not spicy, we watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I pretended to watch. After all that, the host parents took us shopping and eventually to Shipra mall, the biggest mall in Ghaziabad. I spent down to my last rupee to buy some gifts and then returned to the school to bid a final farewell.

Then, it was off to the airport back to Singapore.

AND THAT, concludes out trip to USG, Ghaziabad, India.
