We've had limited access to Internet the last couple of days. It could be because our hotel is full and the loads too much for the router they have. Anyways, here's a quick update on what we've been up to:
- Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib - it's about a 5 minute walk from Chandi Chowk Metro station. It is an ocean of tranquility in an otherwise mind-glowingly chaotic area of town. It doesn't have all the gold (or the holy pool) of the temple we visited on Wednesday but I kind of liked it better. It's less of a tourist attraction and more of a working temple. They also serve a lovely cup of tea in their langar. Sweet, spicy, and refreshing.
- Chandi Chowk - the bazar is insane. INSANE. Choreographed chaos. It feels like all of humanity is walking the sidewalk with you. While the traffic is honking; the sidewalk is crumbling; and half the main thorough fare is being excavated and repaired. Scooter, auto-taxis, peddle taxis, cars, trucks, horse & carriage, wheel barrows, and stray dogs all compete for road space. That is just the main road. Turn the corner and you're down the rabbit hole into a time long forgotten.
- Hardiwar's - it's Indian fast food at its finest. It's clean, clean, and clean. They do everything from Thali meals to pasta to sweets. Apparently their waffles are to die for. I highly recommend the restaurant, especially when food options seem dodgy.
- Parathas eaten at Paratha Walli Galli :-) Deep fried killer goodness. I had carrot and radish. AK had cauliflower and potato. Yum.
This entry is out of sequence...stupid Internet connection :-(
