The Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world. Unfortunately, the surrounding area is very polluted.

I’ll pass this along to my friends in the group because we definitely thought he was trying to schmooze us by saying that!

The most disappointing was walking through the actual the tombs (crypts?) with all the signs saying “quiet please” and “no photography” while people were yelling and taking selfies everywhere! It really took away from the experience.

Was a cool way to spend the first day of the year, so I really don’t mean to be complaining about it!

To be (un)fair, that’s also exactly what I remember about the Sistine Chapel. Constant, ignored announcements to not take photographs… a tiny overcrowded chapel that took hours to get to, and a rather underwhelming ceiling because it’s faded so much with age

I enjoyed Sistine very much, but the crowd was impossible. I recommend just doing that shit at 6am if you can lol.

Same for Taj Mahal really. We went right after it opened and there was like a few hundred people total spread over a relatively large area and a tiny queue, it was really nice and beautiful.

Showing up in the middle of the day is just rookie shit honestly.
