Raj A.K.A The Wasted Cheeseball

When we went to the Jaisalmer fort (Dec. 13, I know we're late) we thought that we would just see the fort and come back. We were wrong.


My family and I started to walk towards the direction of the fort at about nine in the morning. We went to a German bakery which was very, very good. My mom thought that the cinnamon rolls we got smelled and tasted like the ones her dad used to get in the country. They were good. My dad’s backpack had broken so we went to a leather shop and he got himself a very nice leather backpack. There was a guy coming towards us. He said his name was Raj and he asked us if we wanted a tour of Jaisalmer fort. He also asked if he could have the backpack because he knew of a place where he could get the zipper fixed. He said that he wouldn’t charge us, but the only thing we would have to do is come to his shop afterwards. We agreed, but we had no idea what was in store for us. Raj barely gave us a tour. He was the worst tour guide I ever had. He didn’t know a lot about the fort and showed us about three things. Then he started to take us to his shop. He also gave a whole twenty minute speech to my dad about how his father didn’t approve of him and that you should be nice to everybody because you don’t know what you’re going to come back as. It was annoying. It turned out not to be “his shop.” He just worked there with about ten other people. It was a store that actually wasn’t so bad! We got some pillowcases and we are going to have some saris made into curtains. It turned out that we had to go to another shop for furniture! We got a set of chairs and a table to go with the chairs. I guess when we move my mom will have an Indian room. It will be her favorite room of the house. While we were there, Raj was smoking at least one pack of cigarettes. I know he was smoking more than that. Raj kept saying: “I’m sorry if you did not enjoy my company,” (or something like that). We kept saying “enjoy the backpack!” in a happy tone so he would SHUT-UP!
Bu he didn’t.
When we were getting a quick dinner Raj said to me: “women are horrible, do not get married because they will ruin your life,” and “women always lie so don’t listen to them.”
I do not like Raj.


The Five Things I Don't Like About India






1.The people staring at us every second of every day



2.The beggars and the slums



3.How dirty it is



4.People always asking us to buy things or (like Raj) setting us up to buy things



5.People are always trying to rip us off

Hi,I totally agree with your negative points of India. It is difficult to get used to it. Good luck by ignoring this points. ;-)
