Question 9

agr's question: "What is the nicest thing we have seen in India?"

Two answers, thing as in place or object and thing as in event.

During our two weeks off in May we visited the north of India and were eagerly looking forward to seeing the Taj Mahal. It did not dissapoint us. It rekindled our memory of our visit to the Grand Canyon in America in 2000. We had seen lots of photos but when the actual thing burst into sight it took your breath away.

The Taj Mahal was magnificent and we sat for quite a while just looking - as it is often said - impossible to describe.

The second part of the answer for us is the people. Wherever you go they stop you and want to talk to you. They express a genuine interest in where you are from and what you are doing and what you think of their country. They have an immense pride in their country and want to make sure everything is OK.
