CONCLUSION कोन्क्लुसिओं

.

I think this is the last post for me (9th of Mai, last day!)
So I would like to conclude saying a few words about our work on the blog, and what we gained from doing that.

.

This idea of a blog about India was at first obvious, as my partner Edwina has Indian origin and is crazy about that country and its culture. I was myself quite interested in learning about India, as I didn't know anything about it. So we worked as a team; edwina was my "wikipedia" and I was the translator =)

.

We decided then to modify some photos adding our heads, in order to make it .. entertaining!! That could at least help people who didn't care about what we said, and focuss on something else... We also wanted to make it as a trip, not to have informations going in every direction, and this worked quite well! We said everything we planned to say at the begining (except for Bombay...)

.

I think the idea of making a blog was interesting. It helped us to practice our writting, talking about something that has a particular interest for us. However, it takes time... a lot of time to do it: meet Edwina, choose the photos, modify them, decide what we're going to talk about, and write it in English... It would have been much easier if we had more freetime to do it...

.

Anyway, I am sorry we didn't finish it (Bombay). I felt like I wasn't able to do it without Edwina, as she is the one to know everything about India. I thought she would continue this blog once in India, but she is having trouble getting the internet.
Anyway, this was a good experience!

.

We would like to thank you for your messages, it was great to see that people had an interest in what we were doing.

JAIPUR

I'm sorry I hadn't posted new articles, but I didn't feel like doing it by myself!

As Edwina is the one to know everything about India, I felt like I didn't have the pretention to write about something I didn't know.

.

I had some news of Edwina saying that she was fine and that se was having a great time in India!

But she won't send any photo, I believe it is because she doesn't have a free access to internet.

This is a photo which reminds me of the great times we had in Jaipur, our last stop before going back to France =(

Jaipur जयपुर is a pretty city also called the Pink City. Contrary to the other Indian towns, it is quite recent (1727).

During our stay, we visited many temples and palaces and we even visited a Museum, The Albert Hall Museum, which was very interesting.

The photo above shows the Hawa Mahal हवा महल , a palace built in 1799. It is made of red and pink sandstone and the side facing the street outside the palace has 953 small windows!! an anecdote says that it was originally built to allow royal ladies to observe everyday life in the street without being seen!!

Anyway we have a great time on an elephant! Edwina wasn't scared at all compared to me!
