First Stop--Mysore

Reaching Mysore, the first place we visited was the Chamundi Hill, where Sri Chamundeswari temple sited at the summit. But it was not really a nice place to visit, coz unluckily we are the foreigners there, and locals see us 'differently'. What I meant to say is everything we do was double or triple charged.

Innocent us guided by one temple boy.
At first we thought such a kind person he was but wait a minute, there are 'prawns behind the rock'. He asked us to donate some for this temple by wrapping the money in the newspaper n gave it to him. The moment we turned away, he secretly kept it inside his own pocket. My dear saw it. Nevermind... But after he finished his guidance, he asked for more, saying for his guidance fees... I was angry but seeing his 'effort', we tolerated.

But this is not the end of it.

When we walked back to the place where we kept our shoes, the same temple boy kept our shoes in a 'special place', and guess what? We are charged 10x. 100rupees for keeping our shoes in that 'special case'. Stupid people...at first I protested. But no choice, due to our safety, we had to pay them. Or else we might end up 'kaki ayam'.

This is the famous biggest cow in the temple, called NANDI.

And then beside it, there are hundreds of steps of stairs to climb up to another temple. At first, both of us were very energetic. We climbed, and took photos, but the most funniest thing is, when we reached the top and saw the temple, we were both too fatigue to enter the temple even it's just a few steps away from us. We did not make it to the temple and went down. I bet you must be scolding us stupid rite??^.^

Oh and another thing, to add salt into our wound, both of us got sunburn on our face. See how hot the sunlight is until we can't even fake a smile. Haha...such a day, I will never forget. first time being so clumsy together...it will be in my album of our memories forever.

Yet, this bad beginning is not continuing either. Wonderful places and moments awaiting us ahead..coming up next!!HAHA
