Nov 3

    It was a free day today as there was no school, so we were free to go wherever we wanted with our host.

    I had a great lunch after waking up quite late, a change from the previously early morning call. After that, my host and I watched movies together.

    In the afternoon, we went to the bookstore Crossword. It was really big, and even had a place to eat upstairs! The books were also a lot cheaper than in Hong Kong. One book cost around 300 rupees, which was 50HKD! I immediately grabbed a bunch of books. Apart from books, it also sold snacks and stationery. It was like your Page One bookstore in India, only with more books and a lot more affordable!

    After spending a few hours at Crossword, we carried on to go to a bus ride round the city. Yes, those bus rides with an open upper deck. By this time, it was around 7pm, so everyone was really tired. However, that didn't deter us from taking many photos! At the end of the ride, we also went to the Gateway of India! The view was really pretty.
    With everyone nearly weeping from exhaustion, we drove to a restaurant with many different cuisines available. We had a great time chatting with each other, and the food was delicious too. After all, it had been a long day.
