Taj Mahal, Been there Done that

So here is it, our necessary Taj Mahal Blog posting. Sorry for the delay, the internet is a bit fuzzy up around here, plus we are busy. There are only two of us remember. O yah and these postings will not be in chronological order according to our trip, we are just posting what we want, when we want. Deal with it!

Anyways a couple of days ago we went to the Taj Mahal. I took some pictures so Rami is the only one in them (if he is in them, sometimes you just gotta have the scenery, no friends allowed) So here are the pictures....

This is Rami in front of the First Gate, why he decided to bring a flashlight I have no idea, maybe he will explain in a future blog posting.

This is a side of the Second Gate. It was my attempt to simultaneously show off the great detail in everything but also the size and scale of it.

And there is Rami walking back to the camera after having just chatted with an Indian family. (More on that later)

The view of the Taj Mahal, look at all the people.

Front Steps of the Taj Mahal

Little peek inside the Taj Mahal. That is Exclusive! only VIP's get that.

So as mentioned earlier Rami had met a very nice Indian family while walking around the second Gate, we toured the rest of the Taj Mahal with them, and were invited to dinner afterwards at their restaurant. Of course we accepted, and we took lots of pictures of the entire family but for some reason only one was saved when we got back to the hotel. We are thinking a corrupt SD memory card might be to blame.

Of course the only pictured saved is not my most flattering, but at least you all can tell the food was good. O yah that's Mrs. Ranjit. No one gave me the countdown so I didnt realize I was supposed to be smiling. My Bad.

Everybody Say Hotel, Motel, Holiday IIIINNNNNN

Hi All,

It's been awhile since our posts, we are just way too busy. Too many sites, too many great people, too much awesome. But I thought I would post the prerequisite here is our hotel room, one of us eating breakfast, heres the lobby, etc. pictures.

This is the lobby for our hotel. Jealous Much?

And here is our bedroom...

And that is our bathroom. O what's that building in the background...hmmm.

I would have preferred a shower but after essentially saving 100+ lives they insisted on upgrading us to a better room. I like it and all but having to swipe your room card just to make the elevator go to your floor its a bit annoying. Guess that's the price to pay for privacy. O right I almost forgot the required here is one of us eating breakfast pictures......well here is Rami eating breakfast. It was a nice place, very close to the hotel. Not really sure if it was authentic Indian food, might have been a bit "Americanized" as it was so close to the hotel.

Rami eating a large breakfast. But when its complimentary, why not?

Our Plane's Better than Your Plane!

So today we landed, it's crazy being in a new country. The flight is what this blog will focus on. We woke up at 6:34am because waking up at divisible of 5's is just soo 3 years ago. We headed to the Ottawa airport and realized this is it, this will be the journey that could change our lives. We knew walking in what happens in India most certainly stays in India...except for this blog documenting everything we do and all the bitching stories we will tell people, but still that saying never gets old.
We were upgraded to First Class thanks to showing up so late that they sold all the seats, that's why being lazy can be awesome sometimes. The flight was crazy it was everything we could dream of, all the stewardesses were partying with us and we had amazing food, i know on a plane..that never happens!
We got a connection in Heathrow which is the most baller airport ever! We dined at Gordon Ramsay's Airplane Food, it was mad delicious, but i wish Jean Phillipe was there so I could yell at him.
We then got on our next plane and headed to India, same deal as the first time just a high times at high altitudes. I fell asleep for the flight, from what i heard from Sean there was crazy turbulence, but it was OK Ray Liotta was on board and he calmed us down and made us know what's up. The pilot apparently fell asleep and the hypoglycemic co-pilot didn't get his dose of sugar so he passed out, so they came to first class and Sean and Nic Cage, yes that Nic Cage, commandeered the plane with all their knowledge from the movie "Con Air" and landed us in Mumbai. I still can't believe i slept through it, Sean said it was "no big deal, happens all the time. I'm the son of a fighter pilot, I've been trained to land a plan since i was 12"
We got to the hotel and crashed. Tomorrow we are off to see the city, Hopefully post some pictures soon!

No Curry In a Hurry

Yo welcome to Sean and Rami's most amazing trip to India. This blog will keep you informed with all our excursions. Now i know most of you are like whoa, so many people have ridiculous awesome India blogs how will yours be better...I'll tell you how, JAI HO! In case you have never been to india you would have never heard that saying it means "May you be Victorious". It is also a bitching song the locals love here, man I wish I could hear stuff this good on Hot 89.9.
Here are a list of things we hope to accomplish:
- Drink Coca-cola
- Not have our eyes burned out
- Jump in a pile of feces in order to meet a superstar
- Meet Latika
- Lose Latika
- Cook for Latika
- Let our brother have his way with Latika and subsequently lose latika again
- Go on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire
- Have Latika Find Me
- Sean wants to replace Latika with Aishwariya Rai but seriously there would be horrible plot holes if that occurs.
and lastly Ride an Elephant.
To all others trying to start a india blog...don't bother JAI HO!
