AhmedaBAD BAD BAD :(
... plan (or so we thought). First stop McDonalds, we had heard there was one over the river underneath a cinema which possibly showed English films… After a pleasant walk through the smog we made it to our destination, well the McDonalds did exist but the cinema showed one Hindi film a day. One out of two wasn’t bad we thought. Also the McDonalds was right by the university so full of young male and female students. After chatting to some girls they told ...
Gandhi and Mughal Relics

The train arrived fairly on time, and I walked the short distance from the station to the hotel, ignoring the many people wishing to relieve me of my money, and checked in at around 8am. The hotel has a wierd layout - the office is on floor 1 1/2, and you can't actually stand up properly in it.
