India Trip 2006

Our good friend from CMU (Carnegie Mellon University), Tejaswini Hebalkar, just got married in June 2006! The wedding took place in Mumbai, India.

Yue and I traveled to India to attend this wedding. This was an exciting trip, covering 9 cities in north, east, south and west part of India in 15 days.

We greatly enjoyed the food, people, culture and history of India, and have experienced many modes of transportation including bike rickshaw, auto rickshaw, taxis, hiring a car for a day, ferries, subways, tour buses, 2nd class trains, AC sleeper trains, Shatabdi Trains, as well as low cost airlines. We would highly recommend such a trip to anyone.
