Agra Red Fort

Agra Red Fort

I took a train from Delhi India to Agra India where I visited two major tourist attractions. The Agra Red Fort and the Taj Majal. I felt a comparison between here and the Egyptian Pyramids. I went by ground tour or walking to view both of these major world attractions. The alternative was to take a guided tour starting in Delhi for the Taj Majal, or from Cairo to visit the Pyramids.

Both experiences are tarnished by the overwhelming amount of obnoxious human culture I had to experience in conjunction with looking at the non-human. A tour enables or would enable a person to avoid either the Egyptian or Indian cultures.

In hindsight, I am still not sure, I would not want my family and friends to experience these major sights the same as me, both are a negative memory, not a feeling of wonder. I feel it impossible to ignore the obnoxious cultural experience surrounding both sites.

This is where you clean at the toilet in the Agra Red Fort.

I have published these photos, however I have no desire to encourage person to go see this attraction. Look at the photos, and go to an enjoyable place.

It's nice to see pictures of places I have been to, for a change. I remember my experience in Agra quite well.

We had been suckered into doing the golden triangle, but ending in Agra. We were tired, and had seen too many sights in 3 days to feel really excited. But I did enjoy it. I am a person who loves architecture, and here at home i visit old castles and churches a lot. I never pay for guides.

I probably should pay for guides sometimes, however, I never trust them. I should have had a guide at the Royal Observatory, Jaipur... it is too complicated to make it up.

In Agra Fort, we followed behind a guided tour, carefully hearing what the person was telling the Beige Trouser Brigade. cheap.

You are right. The humans at all India's sights make it a jaded experience.
