DAY 8 (20 Jan 2007)
Woke up at 4am....got ready and run to Taj Mahal. The hostel we
stayed in was only 200m away from Taj Mahal... It was pitch dark
and we managed to find our way there ...
Bought the tickets and upon entering, we had our stuff
searched/checked at the entrance by some "grumbly" security
personnels. The lady officers (i think it's a police), saw my LED
torchlight and showing gesture of keeping it. I snatched it back
from her hands and proceed to the lockers to put it.
For the locker side, someone will mend them...ie...take the stuff
from you, go in to the room (which is visible to us), open the
locker and SUPPOSEDLY to put our things in there. I noticed that
the old man opened my locker, put his hand it in. When he retract
his hands from my locker, he seems to be holding something in his
hands and try to hide it. He walked over (without looking at me),
and pass me the keys. I demanded him to show me what is he holding
in his hands. He pretended not to hear and seem dun understand. I
screamed at him (while the Korean Tourists are looking on)...and he
no choice, walked back to the locker, open the locker, and throw my
torchlights and sweets, into the locker finally. He came back (face
black black) and gave me the keys again. I asked to see his hands
again...he curse and swear and gave me 2 of my sweets back, took
one of the sweets and popped into his mouth. I was enraged and the
Korean Tourists panicked. All of them started locking and tying
their bags...
I told the Chief police guy and he said : Nothing i can do...! He
did not take your torchlight hah? and seems disappointed.
OMG!!
I told them that I am reporting to the Embassy and India Tourism
Board in Singapore. and I was here to survey and take pics for me
(blaf blaf a bit).. They actually moved away from me...
I think that I made such a scene, from the corner of my eyes, I saw
the police personnels siam me wherever I walked. I gave them real
cold stares all the way.
so here's the pics.. have to fight with many many tourist to get
the centre position...
