Ultimate India!!!

What a slogan;;; it is the slogan of india/// but it is so true ;; it is ultimate. I went the following day to Fatepur Sikri and Agra to see zzze 'Taj'. I met some people who told me I could see it from the back and that it was pretty much the same so that I would save the entrance fee blablabla... heuuu no // it is not the same, I paid to enter and see the beauty from very close; and I definitely did right. The Taj Mahal is the grave of the wife of a Mogohl king,, like a pyramid of Egypt in some ways, but what a building, the simplicity of the architecture and the complexity of the wall elements make it a wonder from near as from far. Lovely!! << even a bit more then that.
It is in Agra that I developed the BRST 'Boris Rickshaw Scam Technique';; there you go:: you agree on a price with a rickshaw let us say 80 roupies to go somewhere; then you tell him 'I pay half price if you bring me to a shop (where he gets his commission) just for looking not buying, then he agrees, then you say you bring me in two shops and I get the ride for free/// and it works; so pretty much all my rickshaw rides are for free now I only need to spend 10 minutes in various shops looking not really interested by the fake stones or the fake pachmina challs etc. It always works!! It is important to always agree on one shop then a second one otherwise they always want three shops > and that is too much time 30 min/// Anyway, I then went to Delhi see the Indian Gate and others Delhi specials and took the plane to Bangalore where I met Natacha Ben's girlfriend (one of my very good french mate). We traveled together for the next 2 weeks and had lots of fun. In Bangalore, I tried to get some web contacts and did a bit but I'll go to some more firms in Pune and Delhi later on. We headed to Hampi;; a surreal place it looks fake !! temples spread out between massive stones, beautiful light, shaved women who give their hair to the gods etc. absolutely unique. We rented a motorbike << well it was more a motor on a bike but it was gorgeous::: I was singing to myself 'born to be wild' and had all the flashback of last year while I was traveling in Europe. After Hampi we arrived in Badami to see the temples in caves;;; that was of course amazing one more time// but the most appealing thing there was the shooting of a Boolywood movie;;; hahah what a laugh to see these indian boys band dancing all together: some of them were to small and were walking on their pants but they still were the stars heheh. We managed to speak to the main singer ''Sandy"// a real nice bloke actually he said:"me too it makes me laugh these movements but it is my job"...
The following day we were meant to take the direct bus to Goa at 6.30 am...> ok buses in India are not exactly punctual or good or anything... We waited until 8.30 am for the direct bus and then decided to take another bus with a change. At 9.30 we were still in the bus station so we decided to take a rickshaw to go to the next bus station and hope to get a bus from there.... At the end of the day; we took 3 buses and 4 rickshaws to arrive to Panjim in Goa/// ultimate India my friends heheh ///Goa Goa;; I thought everyone spoke Portuguese there and that I would be able to communicate easily, but actually, only very few old people still peak portuguese/// let us say I didn't impress the ladies ... the beaches were extremely dirty and with thousands of dead fish so the ultimate swimming was pretty little. We were looking for some good old 'trance Goa' and saw some rests of hippies and weirdweirdweird people, like this Iranian girl almost naked on the beach with piercing and tatoos everywhere as well as pink make up like American Indians on the face, who couldn't say a word because of the drugs at noon// apparently she was DJ on the beach.... (un)fortunately we didn't stay to listen to her set... This time we rented a greater motorbike and did quite a ride for 2 days exploring the different places and beaches of Goa. We went clubbing of course but it was rather soft compared to the reputation of Goa.
2 days ago we arrived in Mumbay, with one thing in mind Boollywood!!! People told us that westerners were often casted to be extras in movies.... and and::: of course they casted us!! hehe watch out my friend we are now Bollywood stars! The film will be called 'Bhavanraa' not too sure of went it will be out but I will definitely try to get a copy. My git what a funny experience! they gave us some cloths to wear::: the guy saw ma and gave me a pink girl top,,, very slightly far too small for me and a flower necklace hahahaha a beauty. The actors were awfully bad and we had to jump for each camera movement about 15 times as they newer got it right. Anyway, unforgettable I met a French with who we had good fun; we shall be creating a group on facebook for tourist extras in Boollywood;; lots of funny picts. Tomorrow I'll go to Pune to see some more firms. Pune is the city of the guru Osho... let see the strength of sect.
sa ya , read me there.
