Interesting list!

I'm going to print it out and tick everything off (well, maybe except sunrise over Taj Mahal) when I go there in Dec:-) Even being ripped off!!!

After all it's a part of experience, eh?

Adi,

You can't help not going to McD. They give out this wee coupon thing and we can get free small sundae, fries or coke. Very good marketing! Who can resist free sundae?

Yes, I was feeling let down when we went to McDs the first couple of times too and then I discovered the world of differences! =P we ate at local restaurants too, that was delicious :) I miss....
