20060102 Jaipur
Wow! I found McDonald! Was so eager to eat something I'm familiar with, though it was never be my favourite at home. Anyway, the burgers taste "Indian". I didn’t see any building painted pink though Jaipur alias is "Pink City". I didn’t even sense any romantic ambience from this name. Instead there are some buildings painting in ochre-red. The City Palace, also the present residence of the Maharaja, is not magnificent, only a portion is open for public. Was disappointed with Jaipur until I came to Amber Fort, half an hour bus journey north from the city. It is like a maze, preservation and cleanliness are quite well done. Lots of tourists. I didn't explore Jaigarh due to time constraint, which needs an uphill 1km walk from Amber. The Nahargarh (Tiger Fort) at the brink of the city was erected on a hill, The compound is immense but the palace is small, much less charm compared to Amber.
