So i'm back here to update after several days in Udaipur; a beautiful city aptly named "The Venice of Asia". With it's golden sunsets and magnificent mountain spectacles, it's no surprise it's a popular stop for couples. After all, with the girl there with you, "she has nowhere else to go". But that's according to Joe. During our short stay in Udaipur at Ashfar's place called Lake View, we essentially chilled to a purely decadent level. Drinks, food and lounging.

So we left our home stay at Fort Cochin and got our tickets. Bad news is the train leaves in 12 hours. We end up chilling at the same juice bar for about 3 hours, went to watch an epic Indian movie about some warlord and some hot chick who married him and is suspected of trying to assassinate him, far too many plots squashed into a movie, we left after 2 hours, i dunno how long it is.

The only thing we've got are the fucking tickets. The Indian embassy says it takes a maximum of 2 working days to issue a visa to non-terrorist suspects.
