Saturday Stroll

I spent Saturday morning at the park near my house with one of my closest friends in Bangkok playing around with photo shoot ideas. My friend is a professional dancer/ sometimes model/ fashionista, so we gathered up some 70s inspired wear and had fun with it. Although I spent most the day behind the camera, we got a few shots of my outfit before we had lunch and headed home.

Hauz Khas and Curry

I've spent the last two days in Dehli shopping like crazy, visiting some of the major sites, and stuffing myself with the most delicious Indian food I've ever tasted (which probably has something to do with the fact that this is my first time to India). My lovely friend turned out to be a fantastic photog, so we had lots of fun scampering around the Hauz Khas ruins. We had lots of energy because we bagged last night on our big night out and opted instead to stay home, drink a bottle of wine, and have some much needed girl talk. 


By the way, can you spot my "nose piercing"? It's a bindi, I bought tons because I don't quite have the nose for a piercing but I love playing around with it! 









Following our photo shoot, we wound our way through the village to a popular (yet remarkably hidden) restaurant called Gunpowder where we had sweet and sour pumpkin curry, curd, and something resembling chutney/apple sauce with flakey Indian bread (I am horrible with names).

All this is due to my gorgeous and wonderful friend, Meg. Isn't she lovely?

In the Name of Love

So I went to the Taj Mahal yesterday, and it definitely lived up to my expectations. I just loved hearing the story of the King building this in the name of love. I'm sure I got ripped off a few times, as I'm not familiar with the currency yet, but I had an excellent guide, bought a really cool traveling backgammon set (I'm obsessed with the game) and took pictures with about 1000 Indian people! One person would ask for me to be in their picture, and then a line would form. I think a lot of people would be bothered by this, but I'm used to it as I am the rare breed of blonde in Asia, so I just smiled away.


PS- Sorry I look less than spectacular, I had had three hours sleep, a 4:45am wake up call, and a 4 hour car ride.
