Excursion to Delhi

Wednesday, July 25th, 2012

Because P3 academics were in contrast to P1 and P2 rather challenging and time-consuming, I did not travel as much during P3 – the one trip I took, however, was further than my other ones so far – I went to Delhi for a long weekend (flights to India are surprisingly cheap from Singapore, potentially at least partly due to the large number of Indians living and working there). In and around Delhi, I of course visited the Taj Mahal and some of the local sights in Delhi such as the Lodhi Gardens, and experienced the incredible busy-ness and crowdedness, and the extreme contrasts of a large Indian city. However, the time for me to visit Delhi was clearly not optimal: Due to the extremely high temperatures (>45°C), the insides of air-conditioned buildings were sometimes preferable to walking around outside.

A few pictures follow – however I was rather lazy with spending extra energy on taking pictures because it was just too hot.
