Hello!
Now i'm sitting using the internet in our hotellroom, room 567 at Clarks Shiraz, veery fancy. My mom brought her computer so we paid to have wireless internet in our room for 24hours. Somehow we can't seem to find where to put my memory card from my camera into the computer "Doh!" Not Dad's either cause they are both the same size, Henrik do you know if there is place for the big cards?? Doesn't really matter, i fitted mom's memory card in atleast, so i've got some of her photos.
Yesterday i sat at the bussines center for forty or fifty minutes but only had to pay for half an hour. 100 Rs about 20/18 swedish kr. We had a very nice dinner last night up on the roof top of our hotel(but still inside) After dinner we went and looked at some indian shops downstairs where they sell fabrics and clothes and all kinds of stuff. The people working there were really funny, they wanted me and mom to buy all these indian clothes and they had these standard things they said like "oh you have such a beautiful figure" "you look gorgeous in this" They told me like a hundred times that i looked like an indan girl (?) say what?! "with the long hair like that and with the dark eyes, you look just like an indian girl!" haha okay. Either way they were hilarious and the one old man knew two swedish words "snyggt & billigt!" He showed me a picture of his meditation guru.
This morning we got up early, 5:40 to go away and see the Taj Mahal at sunrise. Our driver friend Deepak and Guide Alamgir took us there. Alamgir went with us, he absolutely loves the Taj Mahal and it is very fun listening to him tell about eveything cause you see how interested he is about it.
Needless to say sunrise at Taj Mahal was beautiful, it was quite cold but it was so pretty. The water in the fountains were not yet on so the water was completely still which gave us the most beautiful reflections. It was so pretty to see the sun coming up. Magical. After walking aroung looking we went to a coffe shop and had lattes and caffe mochas, yummy. Alamgir lived close to the coffee shop so he went home and got his son to show us. His son was seven months old, tiny little thing. He was soooo cute. It was really fun to see him, he was a very cute child and he clapped his hands. I showed Alamgir photos of Hailie and Sydney too.
Well not really much to say right now, maybe i'll update more later. Oh yeah i forgot to say, the first evening we were here we went and saw the Taj from a garden on the other side of the river, and when we were there there was a camera team there who asked if they could interview me, they just asked me to say my name and where i came from and tell what i thought about the view from that side of the river. I don't know if it will be shown on their local tv or not, but it was quite fun.
Oh and also another funny thing, at the coffee shop today they were playing eminem music, it felt very 'wrong' somehow, but quite funny.
Me infront of Taj Mahal yesterday. After i'd been jumping around and indian couple asked to take a picture together with me infont of the taj mahal, they were both dressed very pretty, looked like they were on their honeymoon or something, and wanted me with them in their photo =)
The Taj Mahal at sunrise, misty and magical.

Verkar som att det finns en och annan sak man bör se och uppleva själv. Underbara bilder och du ser ut att trivas ganska bra. Ta hand om dig och dina föräldrar. Kram på sig
