I did a lot of sight seeing out of the town today.

Place # 1

I wanted to take her home. She sings and smiles. ( I can do without the begging)

Place # 2

entrance to the Mahaparinirvana Temple

Inside this building lies the reclining buddha. Since it was my first time, I was allowed to make a wish under the following condition: walk around the building five times. No biggie.

reclining buddha

I was told to make a wish inside too. The ritual: walk around the statue three times, and once a round you stop at the feet and make a wish. (One thing about me, I like making wishes)

Place # 3

Place # 4  (Gorakphur)

movie theatre!

dead end at City Mall

I finally got to go to a real mall. I mean, I wasn't planing to do any shopping there, but I just wanted to see how it looked. There's a store called Spencer's which is our equivalent to Wal-Mart. I picked up two new flavours of chips: Spicy Tomato Tango (which is ketchup chips) and Magic Masala, pictured below.

Taste: Not bad, but I like all dressed better.
Speaking of taste, I had dosa for lunch and it was quite nice.

Masala Dosa = 45 rupees = $1

(i really wish decent food was this cheap in canada!)
