This is an example of Hindu architecture but not really typical you also have Muslim, Parsi and others, sometimes in the sam e buildings which is fantastic
I was lucky enough to have visited Mumbai, Goa, Kerala, Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur and Hampi which was fantastic and if you get the chance you should try and stop in there for a few days
I adore india and would love to live there so I could see more of it - your journey sounds fantastic and I hope you get to do that soon
- Country: United Kingdom
- Biography:
I was born in England but grew up in Australia, my parents spent a fair amount of time moving when I was young so I think that has given me the travel bug and I have been questing ever since!
I love to go to new places but get especially excited about countries that are really different to where I live in England. I have been lucky enough to have visited many places including Sri Lanka, Africa, Bali, Hawaii, Egypt and Iceland among others and even lived in India for 6 months which was amazing.
I love getting to know the culture and trying new things, especially the food and wandering the local markets to see what’s on offer. I enjoy learning about local history when I’m away, and I really like seeing the achitecture of temples and other important buildings. Wildlife also features highly wherever possible.
In my spare time I love to cook and have recently started growning my own vegetables too. I enjoy cinema, music and theatre but mostly travel.
I been the customer care manager for a large online retailer for the last 5 years but have had an array of different jobs from dental nursing to a publican as well as a short stint in the army!
My life is an adventure and I want to make sure I try everything I can while I can.
Eventually I would dearly love to work in travel which would combine my skills with my passion - Languages: English and a bit of French
- Favourite Places: Samode Haveli in Jaipur - it's so peaceful there
- Interests: Travel, food and film

It only happens in the Imperial Cafe - they give a free doughnut with every coffee so have lots left over everyday - you can see them in a huge copper vat at the bar. Anyone can buy the vat and start a fight at any time! I haven't done it but thought it sounded great for a fun birthday with lots of friends.

Moving to the UK
Hey Shens, where in the country are you coming to? My parents emigrated 4 times with my brother and when we were young so may have some helpful things to say - was there anything in particular you needed to know?

Hot Dogs and Ice-cream
I haven't eaten anything really wierd but I have eaten some tasty things and things I would happily jump on a plane to go and eat again any time like the hot dogs they serve at the Blue Lagoon in Iceland - they rock and I don't know how it's possible for a frankfurter to be that good and the Gelato in Barcelona OMG!

Yes, I have and I loved it there although I found the people a little on the unfriendly side. Went on a night cruise which was fantastic and have you had a doughnut fight in the Imperial Cafe?
