I just wanted to say thanks to all of the people of India who sent me such nice emails and made comments about the Taj Mahal being a new 7 wonder of the world. It is very worthy and I am very happy for all of the people who have a lot of pride in […]

To summarize Hong Kong in one word, it would have be “neat”. Hong Kong is a neat city/country/SAR (Special Administrative Republic of China) and it is also very exciting with a lot to do. Hong Kong has the best skyline in the world and I live in New York CIty. To see Hong Kong Island […]
New 7 Wonders Profile-Taj Mahal, India
May 23, 2007 by 31 Comments
Everybody knows the Taj Mahal and everbody has seen the same pictures of it. It looks amazing in pictures but seeing the same pictures all of your life cannot possibly do it justice. When you see the Taj in person, it is breathtaking. It will stifle you in your tracks and make you just stare […]
Laundry in Bombay
April 30, 2007 by 5 Comments
If you want your laundry done in Bombay, this is where it can get done. For just pennies, your dirty laundry can get washed in dirty, stinky, filthy water so it can actually come out looking even dirtier and smellier than it was before. The washers will step barefoot into the laundry holes and wash […]

April 17, 2007 by 7 Comments
This is my first in a series of my 7 profiles on what I believe should be the new seven wonders of the world. As you may recall, I published a short list with some explanation of why I believe certain places should be wonders of the world when the final vote is announced in […]

There is something magical about a boat trip in paradise. It can be even more relaxing than just sitting on the beach all day. Plus, you get to view a lot more and feel the breeze ripping through your body. I have been fortunate to have been on many boat trips, learn about various boats […]
Goa

The state of Goa in India is a place lauded by many and experienced by few. It is far from anywhere, especially other states and cities with India. Goa is the polar opposite of everything that is India. It is a relaxed paradise of sorts. It’s not a paradise for all but certainly a paradise […]
Delhi

If Goa is heaven in India, then Delhi is almost certainly hell. Delhi is maddening in all ways that a city can possibly be. Delhi will sharpen your wits and numb your senses. Delhi will come at you in full force from all directions at all times of the day and from all walks of […]
Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is the most beautiful building in the world, period. It’s funny because you have seen the same picture of it a thousand times and it always looks the same. When I was on my way to go see the Taj for the first time, I figured it would be all hype and […]
