Josef and I (Will) had a great time in India our first day we visited the Taj Mahal it was beautiful and huge I found out that it was created for a memorial to Shah Jehans favorite wife Mumtaz Mahal. For lunch we ate at Bukhara for dinner at Bukhara we both ordered the dal which is a type of curry dish, it is rich, creamy and very good. It is basically made up of lentils, peas, or beans and it is full of protein and it takes 48 hours! of stewing. It is said that Shah Jahan after 22 years of building and had the hands of the sculptors hands cut off so that they wouldn't ever build something as beautiful as the Taj.


Our second day in the morning we visited Arunachal
Pradesh it is a beautiful area and we had a great time. It is a province of india, it is a beautiful land, it is also is currently being debated if it is china's land or India's land.
We did not do much for lunch but in the afternoon we went to
Simlipal National park where we saw a white tiger in the wild
it was so cool. This wonderful park is in the northeast part of odisha. 
Our guide said that the national park was 2750 square kilometers. 
It is also a tiger reserve, witch is why we wanted to go there.
Then for dinner we ate at Karavali. At Karavali I had Alleppey Fish Curry and Josef had Koli Bhartad. Alleppey is a type of curry of course and it is a special of south India. Koli Bhartad is a type of curry flavored chicken both the dishes were good and we tried a little of both and Josef didn’t like the fish.

Our third and final day we went to Kanpur in the morning
and in the afternoon. It is a city that is very advanced, 
it has many beautiful buildings. It seems like it has thousands, 
or ten thousands of tanneries, and thus it has a nickname
of "the leather city of the world".

For dinner we ate at the Wharf. Josef had the Moroccan chicken steak and I had a King Prawn. The Moroccan Chicken Steak was deliciously seasoned and was very good and full of taste. The King Prawn was fried and was very good.

That was our wonderful trip to India I definitely recommend you going their because it is a beautiful and culture filled place but keep in mind that 1 U.S dollar equals 53.64 rupees. When we were their though it was scary because in Odisha a group named the Naxals had hacked somebody to death and left him laying in his own blood. It's current leader (Pratibha Patil) was not happy and is trying to act against that group.
