Transportation

• People in India travel by bus, train, car, taxi, bicycle, but mostly by foot. Everything is within walking distance in most towns, including…

• the railway station…

• the food market…

• shops…

• … and the Cricket sports field. Cricket is a popular sport in India. It is a lot like baseball in America.

Traveling in India

• There are many historical places to see in India. India is a land of kings and queens, palaces and forts. The rest of the pictures are of my journey throughout the states of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. The city of Agra in Uttar Pradesh is known for the famous Taj Mahal, a tomb built by a king for his wife, whom he loved very much.

It’s your turn…

• Now it is your turn to take a journey. Travel to India and China through words and pictures and discover how we are all related. You will find there are more similarities between people of different cultures than differences. And when there are differences, they are to be celebrated because that is what makes each of us unique.
