OK. Agra is a bit better. Way less cars, way less chaos (of course, this is all in comparisson to Delhi).
The traffic here consists of cars, tractors, auto-rikshaws, bicycle rikshaws, cows, camels, bikes, motorbikes, pedestrians, goats. I am sure I missed some, but that is pretty much what you get in the mix.
Taj Mahal is worth every penny (and there is a lot of pennies involved). Most places charge foreigners about twenty times the price of an India ticket. And everybody asks for baksheesh (a tip). We are getting used to carrying a good handful of ten and twenty ruppies. We pay the guy that stands around washrooms (for opening a door perhaps), a guy who "looks after" the shoes by a mosk, a guide that we never asked for, and many more...
The homestay where we spent the night, prepared a dinner for us. We both agree that it is the best ever Indian dinner. We are getting a tingling feeling for India...

Agra truputi geresne uz Deli. Maziau masinu, maziau chaoso. Taj Mahal'as labai vertas kiekvienos kapeikos. Labai ispudingas. Vaziavom is ryto ziureti kaip saule bekildama keicia vaizda.

Cows on the streets
There are a lot of cows and buffaloes on the streets. They are pretty street smart and they have to be treated like another form of a vehicle...gali sutikti masinas, traktorius, riksas, kupranugarius, pesciuosius, karves, ozkas ir dar ko tik nori. Susidurimu nematem, nors atstumai tarp visu minetu gali buti milimetriniai...
Cia uz visus muziejus uzsienieciams kainos dvidesimt kartu didesnes ir visi kas netingi praso arbatpinigiu (ir prie tualetu, ir prie batu "saugyklos", ir kur tik dar sugalvoja). Daug ismaldos prasytoju, daug murzinu vaiku lakstanciu.
Namai, kuriuose apsistoje, paruose vakariene - be jokiu abejoniu geriausias indiskas maistas. Atrodo, Indija pradeda po truputi patikti...
