Mysore~~~, India

(The 1st temple we visited...it's Huuuggeee....)

Went to Mysore yesterday with my colleagues...Mysore is another city 3 hours from Bangalore....we booked a taxi and left early in the morning...luckily traffic wasnt that bad~~~phew~~~ I have to say, the streets of bangalore look very different in the daytime than what i usually only see at night....street lights are pretty bad at night...except for the cars around you, you don't quite see other things beyond that....

Daytime bangalore -> dusty, muddy, crowded (both cars and ppl), old buildings, bulls everywhere, horse & horse carts, temples everywhere, old shoplots...and of coz plenty of rubbish...

anyway, we reached Mysore at around noontime...our driver took us to an indian temple...the moment i stepped out of the car, a lot of beggars surrounded me...in addition to that, all the merchants also surrounded me, forcing me to buy sourvenirs from them...headache immediately and scared at the same time, i ran to my colleagues who were also surrounded by them....i used the car door to block them from flocking in....and almost screamed for help...We ignored them, kept walking towards the temple with our friend driver, they followed us, yelling and forcing....i didnt even have the chance to take proper pic...the funny thing is, when i asked my colleague to take pic of me, all of them stood beside my colleague quietly while the pic was taken..after tat, the yelling and forcing continued~~~haha...

India is full of temples and they look all the same to me~~~the temples are magnificent!!! the whole of temples are made of STONE....i don't know how they craved the statue, it's just amazing (Like how my spanish colleague also said...amazing for good and bad things..hehehe)

(this is the second temple at the top of a hill)

There are mosques and churches as well, but not chinese temple....apparently, indians have Monkey God as well... :) after visiting temples, we went to a royal palace....i have to say, the royal family had alot of "visitors" yesterday...hahaha....

(this is the palace...doesn't it look like one of those palaces from fairy tale? hehe)
