North India Trip Series - Udaipur (Part2)

City Palace, Udaipur

some intesresting things the Maharaja Used last time:
Weighing Machine. i wonder what's the maximum weight can it support.

Toilet Bowl. check out the cushions. no more cold cold toilet bowl in the morning...

City view from the palace. it's just awesome. you can see the whole Udaipur City (white city) from the top floor of the palace.





saw this when we're traveling in the taxi. probably somebody has stolen his rickshaw and he tried to get it back.

saw this in the taxi also. a wedding ceremony. here they use horse instead of Merz, cool huh?

A desert cultural village. nothing but seeing lifestyle of the desert people

some kinda of desert house



view from the monsoon palace. another awesome one.

sunset

another one

one last one

right after the sun set, we rush back to Bagore-Ki-Harveli to catch the traditional dance show. among all the dances, the best was this:


This lady started off with one pot on her head, dancing round and round, doing stunts and all. after each round, one more pot is added on her head.

she ended up having 9pots on her head,



as you can see, Rajahstan is a desert area and their Jabatan Pembekalan Air is not that effective enough to supply water directly to their homes. so they need to bring water back home from land far far away. the best way to do it is to put them on the head.

but do not try this at home cause it will lead to stunted growth...

bravo for her dance!!!

saying goodbye to Udaipur

took a photo with our guesthouse worker. doesn't he look like Jim Carey?

and before leaving, we got to know that the biggest turban was in the town! anything biggest in the world is sort of a must-see item. so we went back to Bagore-Ki-Harveli, the place where we watched the dance the night before, found the turban, took some photos and chiao...

off to Jaisalmer...

story time:
upon leaving the guesthouse, we found out that they extra charged us for something. so we had to talk to the boss whose house is in the guesthouse itself.
(*knock knock)

boss: "wait a second"
and before the boss finished saying "wai..." Lai Yin being Lai Yin pushed open the door...

(*10 + 10 + 10 + 10)

the boss was ONLY with his undergarment. the whole family looked at LaiYin.

LaiYin: "oopss... sorry boss..."

after coming back from the trip, LaiYin shifted to the room below mine.
JunHan: "Nickson, beware..."
