Hey guys (again)...two blog posts in one day. crazy. crazy. CRAAZYY. AHHHH. Yeah. So, yesterday morning I went to Old Delhi. Old Delhi is a crazy place with crazy little lanes, that are super crowded. It's quite a lot of fun though! You get to see what Delhi is really like. At times it can be a bit overwhelming, but again, it's fun. It's a nice place to get good pictures to post on your blog. :P
Infact I took like a lot of photos when I went. We left and took the bus. My Mum and I were taking some of our friends there who have not been in Delhi for that long. It was good. It's quite a bit ways out, but the bus is super cheap. We were planning to meet some people there, but they were late so we decided to visit the Red Fort. The Red Fort is red and yesterday was my very first visit. It costs like 5 bucks to get in but it looks cool.
It was really big and red. You walk in and there's this guy with a gun in this little thing cage thingy for proteciton. I was like what the heck? I guess they get a lot of attacks or something...hahah joking. I was scared of taking a picture of him, but I think I finally did.
After we walked around the Red Fort for a while we got a call from our other friends, and went out to meet them at a Jain Temple. On the way there we passed a urinal on the side of the road. It had a funny name...
There were dogs in the urnial. Both sides infact! It was hilarious.
So, after the fun part with the dogs in the urnial we crossed the street and headed to the Jain Temple to meet up with our friends. Jains are a people group/religion. Jain's will not kill anything. Sometimes they wear masks, becasue they are afraid they may breathe in bugs or insects and kill them. Jains are vegans because, again, they will not kill any living thing. Some Jains are sky clad. Sky clad Jains are people who do not wear any clothes. I've seen like one or two Jains walking down the street once...They were the sky clad ones. NO clothes at ALL. It was like oh...I just saw two naked men walking down the street. That's a little odd. At the Jain Temple they have a bird hospital there. They take care of all kinds of birds, but mainly piegons. This time when I went there was a peacock there. Pretty neat. After we walked around the Jain Temple for a while we walked the street and just looked at stuff. We passed by many temples and even a church! After walking for a whlie we turned off the main road. When you turn off the main road you get on these small tiny lanes, where there's hardly room to walk since there are bikes and things like that.
Yeah, so you can probably understand waht I mean when I say tight lanes.
We walked along and came along a parantha shop where we always eat when we go to Old Delhi. Paranthas are these delicious like fried bread things. That makes no sense, but they taste so good! You can order all kinds of paranthas. You can eat aloo (potato), paneer (an Indian cheese), kaela (which is bananna), normal, or even sugar. I've tried the sugar and it is so gross. Don't eat it. I get the paneer parantha normally. It tastes delicious.
And here are all of the sauces you can deep your parantha in. Some of them taste weird, but most of them are quite delicious! I espicially liked the one with the potato in it.After we ate we continued along the way...There were many cool doors that were old looking. So i was like oh. Perfect time to use the black and white feature on my camera. BAM! If it's old, black and white will make it look older and cooler...
Proffesional looking much? Hecks yahhh.
Cool picture of a lane!
So, we finally get out of the small lanes and then head for the Jamid Masjid. The Jamid Masjid is a Muslim place of worship. They made us take our shoes off at the door. I brought socks, because of the floor being hot. I think it's fun to walk around in socks...umm yeah! We walked around a bit, while my Mum took our shoes and cameras and went around to the other side. Oh yeah! It costs a lot of money to take your camera in so we decided not too. We went up a minaret, which is a tall tower for about 2 dollars. It was totally worth it though. You climb many steps and you are very tired. At the top there is a nice breeze and a spectacular view. After the Jamid Masjid we went and ate at a local resturaunt in the area. They had pretty nice food there. After that I went to the mall and just hung out a bit. I had coffee too.
That's it guys. Goa tomorrow! Yay. It's gonnna be fun. I'm kinda (super) excited. yeah. I suggest that you check out the rest of my photos of Old Delhi. Some of them are really nice looking!
Isn't this slide show thing cool? If you want to see the pictures even more closer up click here:
That's it! I'm sorry if there are many errors. I'm not going to check. I'm too lazy and i'm tired. It's late! Cheers, Clay-tone
That's the cleanest urinal I've ever seen. No wonder the dog is sleeping there! Glad you had fun!
