Can't believe I forgot about Aggra. Where the Taj Mahal is.

Aggra is actually very nice, if you discount the crazy people outside the Taj and the Red Fort who will in some cases follow you and scream at you to buy stupid crap you don't want for ten million times the proper price. NEVER EVER EVER buy something from one of them, because you will be swarmed by all the others and they will not leave you alone until you've escaped inside. And they will invariably offer you the thing you just bought for half price, making you feel even more ripped off than ever. It never occurs to them that they could have asked five minutes ago.

The Taj was beautiful, although personally I liked the Golden Temple better. The way they inlaid the marble; grinding every little piece into the right shape is mind boggling and the marble seems to glow in the dawn.
