city of agra state of Uttar
Pradesh

It is natural

Cordial greeting family


I will share a little of this wonderful place considered among one of the 7
wonders of the modern world called The Taj Mahal.
Where are you? I am in the country of India, in the city of Agra, state of
Uttar Pradesh, the predominant language is Hindi and English, being English
the one that allowed good communication in this country, it was a bit
complicated to get here because in the The airport asked many things,
regardless of what I came as a visitor, when they saw my Colombian
nationality, they asked me what I was doing, how many children I had, if
my parents were still alive, if I had a partner and because I had come
alone, the truth was very uncomfortable because I planned to take
advantage of my vacation and knowing that beautiful temple, for a moment
I thought that they would not let me into the country, after 4 hours of
questions and verify that my answers were affirmative, my Access to the
country was achieved.
You will wonder and Gustavo What are you doing there? Visiting one of the
7 wonders of the modern world called The Taj Mahal, it was necessary to
save money for several months to be here, it was a difficult decision
because I had to select one of the 7, but the context impressed me as This
place became A work of art, history says that the emperor invested around
40 million rupees in the seventeenth century, which today translates into an
estimated 1,500,000,000 million dollars, which lasted 22 years and worked
around 20,000 people, a faithful Demonstration of love for an emperor of
his Queen and his children, an exemplary man who showed love for his
family by fulfilling his word, his wife died having his son number 14 in which
he made him promise 3 things.
1. He would not marry anyone else.
2. Take care of your 14 children
3. Bury her in a place where she visits her every year.
Something he did for that reason decided to make that temple and bury
him there, when he died, he asked to be next to his beloved and so it was,
normally it is not seen in these times a demonstration of love as great as
this.
Where are you? In this photo I am in front of the Taj Mahal, I am in the
pond a few minutes from entering this beautiful place.

How does it make you feel?


Being here makes me feel happy, a different place after such a long trip is
gratifying to be here and enjoy this beautiful place.

What words can you use to describe it?


It is impressive to be here, there is a lot of organization in this place,
everything is clean, you feel peace, impressive architectural structures,
designs with precious stones, the truth is a place made with love.

What do you like?


I like its designs, its structure and more the history that keeps this beautiful
temple.

He doesn't like that?


What I do not like is that when you are in the city is totally different I could
see a lot of poverty, cardboard houses houses people on the street,
something totally different from what the temple is.

What are you wearing?


I wear a white t-shirt with black shoes and pants
