Today has been the most frustrating day since being in India. Am continually trying to get a steady internet connection on this laptop; after having bought an !dea (Trademark) dongle for internet connection. It's supposed to be high speed...................joke, a snail could get up Everest faster than this. DON'T buy this make/supplier of dongle........it's La MERDE!!!!!!

It has taken all day to successfully book a train ticket out of this dust bowl of a City. The only thing worth seeing here is The Golden Temple, the old architecture around the bizaar area of the old part of town. I could have seen it all in 3 hours and then left.
You learn the hard way here. To be sure of a train ticket it's best to book 2 to 3 days in advance; otherwise you are practically trapped. Buses run for sure; but take 8 hours to anywhere interesting.
I will try and download a photo, and leave the laptop on for an hour in the hope it will work.

Briefly, Amritsar is a heaving, dirty, and overpopulated city; stinks of urine, pollution. Would have been better to have bought a postcard of the Golden Temple than come here. Anyhow, will take bus to Attari, and the rickshaw to Wagah tomorrow evening to see the border military ceremony.
Then 7. 30 a.m on Wednesday will take train back to Delhi, and on to Agra.

NOT A GOOD DAY.......;also have 20 street pigs/boars as neighbours.
