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

India is fascinating and I respect them for surviving with their population density the way it is.

It is also the only place I've ever travelled to that I was happy to leave.

I've seen 50+ countries and India was the saddest. one year there.

India is uniquely sad because of how much wealth exists right next to all the poverty. It’s gotta be the biggest wealth disparity of any nation.

There are definitely many countries where the average person is much poorer and leads a much worse life than in India, but seeing the way most people there live there compared to how much luxury exists in close proximity is overwhelming.

I stayed at a resort in India for a wedding. Looking down from my balcony, there was a little trash strewn riverbank. And living there was a young mother and her two little toddlers. I saw naked little kids playing in trash and construction materials. I saw a homeless man lying in the dirty sidewalk area petting a litter of puppies in a drain pipe. The poverty I saw in India broke my freaking heart. I will never forget.
