Overview

Tip of Taj Mahal
Seeing the Taj Mahal physically was the most memorable and unbelievable feeling compared to seeing it in pictures.

Mumbai ia the gateway to India. It's a must to see how people live in this, the world's most populated city. My best experience in Mumbai was walking around -- left, right, stop, I didn't know what to do it was the most exciting. The people are very friendly, too.

Quick Tips:

A must is to take a photo touching the tip of the Taj Mahal. Don't take a picture with your own personal camera; instead, pay the small fee of 60 Rupees to the guys that take photos -- it's a photo you will never forget.

Best Way To Get Around:

It's best to get to Agra by train. You get to see the whole countryside and it's very scenic.

To get to Mumbai, take the plane from Delhi. Book your tickets from India because it works out much cheaper. The meals are also a good experience in the plane and totally different compared to the Indian food I eat.

Centre Point
Hotel Centre Point in New Delhi is located in the city centre, 18km from the international airport, 13km from the domestic airport and 1km from the railway station. Hotel Centre Point in New Delhi has The Manderlay, a 24-hour coffee shop, and a multi-cuisine restaurant. The food was magnificent, especially the seafood dishes.

Hotel Centre Point in New Delhi has 55 standard, deluxe rooms and suites, with attached bath and shower, mini fridge in each room, direct-dial telephone, three music channels, individually-controlled airc-onditioning, and a colour TV with both in-house and satellite channels. This is the best place of my entire India trip.

This place is a must for all cricket lovers. If the famous cricketer Sachin is in mMmbai, there is a possibility that you might meet him there because this is his favourite place to eeat. The menu has all his favourite dishes waiting for you to test.

Attraction

Goa Beach
Goa, capital city of India, is on the southwest coast of India and you wouldn't say you were in India once you're in Goa. It's a nice place to relax and sunbathe, and there are lots of lovely topless women that you can see. The hotels are cheap and all facilities are nearby. Moving around in Goa is easy; walking will do it in this place.

Food and drinks are also very cheap. If you are a seafood fan, try there prawn specials; cocktails specials are also everywhere.

It's a totally different experience compared to any other beach resorts. Be adventurous and try it. The best time to visit Goa is from December to May. After May, the monsoon season starts, so that's a bad time to go.
