Rajasthan trip- Jodhpur

From Mt. Abu to Jodhpur took about 7 hours by bus.
Because Mt. Abu is the city in the mountain, so it's not hot at all, actually, a little cold in the morning.
The weather was totally differnt in Jodhpur, very hot!!!
Jodhpur is also called as Blue city, because people in the past printed their house in blue color.
When you see the city from a higher place, you will know why I like this city so much!

The hostel we stayed in Jodhpur is the best one during this trip! I love this hostel!
It has an air-cooler inside, and it is very clean.
This is my first time to sleep on the clean and white bed sheet in India!!!

During the trip, because it is not easy to find good and cheap restaurant.
Most of the restaurants on the street are roof-top restaurant. Their target customers are tourists, so of course the price usually is not too cheap...
Moreover, I still afraid that if I eat something seld by the street vender, I would had bad stomachache.
So, most of the time, we only eat some fruits, snacks, and drink some juice (cheap and good).
In this city, we found a McDonald's there! You can imagine how happy we were in that moment!
The food in McDonald's are not the same with Taiwan's. Because many Indians are vegitarian, it has more veg. food in there, and it's quite good!

In the second day in Jodhpur, after bought the train tickets from Jaisalmer to Jaipur, we are ready to walk to the fort!
About buying the train tickets in advance is very different as Taiwan.
First of all, you need to go to a special building, which is not in the train station, and filled a form to the clerk.
On the form, you need to write down your name, age and gender. Those information would show on the ticket, although I don't know why they need those information.
There are several different classes in train. Sleeper or sitter? AC or non AC?
Fianlly, we bought two "2-tier AC sleeper" from Jaisalmer to Jaipur, cost 1980!
So expensive T_T

Go to the fort on the top of the mountain, most of the people would choose to go there by "Auto-rickshaw".

Though it was very hot, but it was very very beautiful and interesting on the road!!
We didn't meet anyone on the small road to the fort after went though some houses in the begining.
There was a temple on the way. We get into there and got some food given by the host of the temple.

We don't know how to deal with those food, beacuse those are not familier to me and I don't want to eat them, but it was given by the god in that temple, we can't throw them away.
Just about the time, some dogs standing infront of us on the way and barking at us!
Andreas tear some food to the dogs.
They all jump there to eat them, and get off our way!
It was so interesting, so we said those food must be the gift from the god to save us!

This fort called "Meherangarh Fort", is my favorite fort in the trip.
The sculptures in there are very very detailed, and the decorations are too gorgous like other palaces or forts. And maybe because we had audio tour, I can know more about this fort and its stories.
