hotel

This is the inside of Oberoi Shimla; taken from outside of our door. This hotel is old. Just gone thru a renovation. Pretty nice. The only things one has to remember: 1) don't let the balcony door opens as monkeys will invite themselves and ransack the place. 2) Wooden floor so you can hear people from upstairs; it reminded me of our visits to Boston and in the morning, we could hear kids running around. And 3) Not that good of noise insulation as with any India quality work. The bottom of our door had a huge gap.

Other than that, the hotel was excellent. Very efficient in making guests comfortable. We ate at the hotel restaurant every meal as didn't care of the food outside. Let's face it, pretty crappy. Not going on a rant but if the Indian gov't can have nucle@r @rsenAls and a rocky that can put a man to the moon, for pete sake, make where close to home better!

Seems every time I am back here, I get more frustrated. Forget about rolling with the punches. If one does that, you are screwed. You get no where.

But do I want to go back to Shimla again as everyone said it was such a beautiful place? All I can offer was "Bull $hit". This place was not that spectacular. I walked on the other side of town rather than the tourist side. Man! People's living condition, the local buses (an entire broken front end with no bumper, radiator exposed and no headlights!), the garbage, the beggars, the back-breaking human "cargoers". Remember, Indian "propaganda" is worse than the C0mM!es. And the BS excuses, just "don't lie". Hill station? My ass. It's more like an over-run human habitats with garbage everywhere (on the side of the hill). Going? No.
