New Delhi:India Gate

India Gate is a huge arch in the middle of Rajpath, a street in Delhi that leads to the house of the President, as well the ever touristic Connaught Place, one of my now favorite haunts. It is actually quite similar to the Arc de Triomph, and is a war memorial. We were pretty lucky that while we were there we got to see a changing of the flowers, which is on the memorial, and so we saw the marching and rituals of the army. Very cool, even though there are so many beggars around, and I got punched by a little girl for not giving her money. Seriously, children hate me here. I think they can smell fear.
