Things to be noted..
·
Beware of scams involving tuk tuks, gem shops, and tailors,
particularly around popular tourist attractions. Remember, there is no such
thing as a free ride.
·
Its better to flag down taxis that are already driving (the
red light means empty); these will generally use the meter while parked taxis
typically ask for higher fixed fares or will take you for the proverbial
‘ride’.
·
During the monsoon season months of June through September
rains come quickly and heavily, particularly in the afternoon. Adequate
footwear and an umbrella are advisable.

Bora Bora, located about 160
miles northwest ofTahiti and approximately 2,600 miles south ofHawaii, was discovered in 1722, and is arguably the most
beautiful island on the planet.
The island's ancient name of Vava'u suggests the original inhabitants of this 7 million year old island arrived fromTonga, and interestingly, there is no "B," in the local Tahitian language, so its actual name isPora Pora, meaning "first born."
Under the leadership of Admiral Abel Aubert Dupetit Thouars, Bora Bora was named a colony of France in 1842.

The Taj Mahal (Crown Palace) is India's most famous structure,
and, perhaps the most beautiful piece of architecture in the world. Photographs
cannot truly capture the grandeur of this perfectly proportioned tomb of Mumtaz
Mahal and its creator, Shah Jahan, the fifth Mughal ruler.
Mumtaz Mahal was the second, and favorite, wife of Shah Jahan (r. 1628-1658). A Persian princess born as Arjuman Banu Begum, she was a significant influence in his life and in his policies. She died at age thirty-nine while giving birth to their fourteenth (some say thirteenth) child in 1631. The ruler went into deep mourning and much of his empire was compelled to do the same.
Almost immediately there was announced a competition for plans to construct a tomb and shrine worthy of the ruler's beloved. Numerous legends surround the selection of the architect--some even implausibly suggesting that it was a westerner from Italy or France. But although a number of names have been proposed, the architect's name is unknown. It is clear that talent from many parts of the Muslim and western worlds came together in Agra to work on the mausoleum: engineers, carvers, artists, calligraphers, architects, craftsmen of all sorts, and a variety of common laborers. It is estimated that 20,000 people worked on the tomb from 1631 to 1648. Work continued in the adjoining areas until 1653. It should be noted that the Taj Mahal is a total package of tomb, mosque, gardens, gateways and fountains.
