Yunnan Trip - Tiger Leaping Gorge 虎跳峡 8-9 April 2009

Our last batch of Yunnan photos (after almost 1 year, haha).

Hong Kong 2010 Feb 20:黄大仙庙Wong Tai Sin Temple

搭地铁到黄大仙站，b2出口，在左边。地铁出口处有不少人卖香烛，那是非法的，不须买。

终于见到庙里的黄大仙画了，不过不能走近。庙外人山人海，人们走路的方向是单行的。

求签的人很多，不收费的。我双手合十拜了黄大仙，也求了一枝好签。签纸要到外面买，港币五元, 也不须买，网上找得到。解签？港币二十元，不需要，可以在网络上找到解释。

印度第十二天～最后一天〔29-Jan〕

早上接到老板的电话，真是两个星期来最高兴的事，我提早班机回家！hurray！

印度第十一天〔28-Jan〕

下班后，逛了附近的一间大型购物中心，Garuda Mall。过马路时，非得用上我在越南时学到的勇往直前，不顾一切的技术。斑马线如同虚设，如果不做敢死队，就要待在马路边老半天。

印度的购物中心，真的是没什么特色，很难跟本地的比。还是新德里的Pasar Malam比较特别。

印度第十天〔27-Jan〕

到了Bangalore办公室，靠近Bangalore Central。整天工作、工作、工作……

印度第九天〔26-Jan〕

今天是印度Republic Day，公共假期，Bangalore的天气就像阳光普照的云顶。酒店外有很多taxi和auto司机，说有Rs20一个小时的导游服务。千万别相信，他们会带〔逼〕你去购物，专卖店。

印度第八天〔25-Jan〕

从孟买搭KingFisher飞到Bangalore，机场离市区很远，有四十公里。Taj酒店保安深严，员工服务一流，很好。

印度第七天〔24-Jan〕

从新德里搭KingFisher飞到孟买，住进AB's Service Apartment。这是一间中级酒店，Ashwin喜欢这间因为比较靠近办公室。特色是晚上没热水！蚊子多！我跟酒店老板说，"Sorry, I need my passport back, in case police check me, especially now it's sensitive period, terrorism". 老板："Police will never check you, but you can check them! "。真是个又无奈又具讽刺性的笑话。

酒店外的夜市场(Ramdas路)有卖各式各样的服装，牛仔裤特别多。很明显的，都是冒牌货，但品质还不错，要注意拉链有没坏喔。有一百或两百的，选两百的吧，马币要13元。

印度第五天〔22-Jan〕

从Dehradun一路大雾路经Manglour镇，停下休息。感觉超冷，比香格里拉的四月冷，七八度吧。 喝了两杯indian tea，继续上路。经繁忙的Meerut，越接近就越塞车，到达Delhi班工室已经是八个小时后的事了。

公事做完后，友善的Jagdish带我们去Central Market。狂买了多件羊毛御寒衣，超便宜的。普通的只需Rs250，好料的也只是Rs600〔大概新币二十〕。

印度第四天〔21-Jan〕

公事做完后，从Paonta Sahib出发到Mussoorie，一个值得期待的地方。Mussoorie 是一个出名的高原渡假圣地。车子延着环山公路，爬上海拔六千尺，低达了市镇。黄昏风景还不错，冷风继续吹袭我们，应该有十度左右。

印度第三天〔20-Jan〕

Baddi到Dehradun塞车，狭窄，不平坦，大雾和绕山的道路，花了我们要四个小时。NH 72，National Highway 72，所谓的高速公路，应该讲是高速跳跃公路吧。Paonta Sahib 在这两地之间，我们接下来一天要从Dehradun折返。Dehradun的天气比Baddi暖和，十度左右吧。
