Hello my dear friends and family,
My recent trip was to the Golden Temple at Amritsar (10 hours away by train from New Delhi)!!! By far it has been one of the best experiences I have had here in India. At first I was very hesitant to take the train because I had heard that it can be a very crowded and unpleasant expirience, but I to see teh Golden Temple for me was a must and the train was the cheapest mode of traveling so far! ( 8 USD roundtrip!!!) and so I booked my tickets along with 3 other students and we went on a train adventure to Amritsar!
When we arrived we were greeted by Angad, my friend Pablo's good friend, and he invited us to stay in his home while on our trip, and we accepted his offer when we arrived his mother and sister awaited us with a wonderful dinner and beautiful smiles. Staying at their home was a pleasure and such a treat as we were feed to death by Angad's wonderful mother!
Now to speak of my visit to the Golden Temple, we woke up early morning at 4am to see the sun rise and so we would not have to wait hours to enter and see the beauty of the temple inside. The feeling and the sight my eyes saw is un-explainable, there are times in my life where I feel absolutely complete, lucky and beyond happy without explanation, being at the Temple gave me this wonderful feeling. The temple is a must see if ever in India! they even have free accommodation for those wishing to stay the night and free food and free delicious chai!! (best chai I've had in India).
After the Temple we visited the Pakistan/India border ceremony, and to say the least it was crazy!!! the Pakistan and Indian army put on this whole show and open up the official gates of either side of the border and both army's put on a show for the crowd its Pakistan vs. India's army! the crowd is full of energy and the locals go wild! To my luck it was pouring I got completely soaked but I still had a blast!!!
that's all for now loves :)
