Paul at the Gateway to India

This arch was built by the British to mark the arrival of Prince Edward (not positive on the name) in the 1800's. It symbolically became the "gateway" to British India and it was from here that the last soldiers left when India gained independence. More interestingly though, this is the one place in the world where touts will try to sell you a "big balloon". As the name suggests it's just a meter long balloon; why would I want that?
