Taj in sunset and bed bugs feeding frenzy

I saw the Taj in sunset last night, really amazing, if it hadn't been for all those damn mosquitos I could have watched it for hours. I still haven't been inside though. I will save it till Abishek comes, its too expensive to enter twice. After my Taj viewing I just went back to the hotel, but I realized that I had ended up in an extremely shitty place. I still don't understand why on earth I said I'd stay there. It was a really cramped, dark room, no fan, no real possibility to stick up mosquito net, disgusting bathroom (it was a 1 sq. meter with dirty, molded walls and hole in the ground) and the bed was full of BEDBUGS (well, that I discovered this morning when I woke up, realizing I had been the victim of a massive feeding frenzy). One arm is completely covered with small red spots and so is my face. I look like a freak! Argh...it itches too!! So I have just been to a pharmacy and equipped myself with all kinds of remedies for both bedbugs and mosquitoes.



(Don't stay at Hotel Akbar Inn) I have also moved to another guesthouse which is soooooooooo much nicer. I rather pay a little more for a better place, than getting eaten up by miscellaneous insects:)

Agra is also the most frenetic place, if you ever thought you felt hassled by people in Delhi, then try Agra and Delhi will seem like a walk in the park. I though maybe my freak look would keep them at a distance from me, but to no avail :( Even complete ignorance does not work here, nor does scraming your head off telling them to "fuck off"...actually I didn't really do the last thing, although I was very tempted. One thing that did work on occasion was "Jao!" which mens "Go away!" in Hindi.
