Aren't some people ridiculous? I actually overheard a conversation where a French bloke had gone to Agra but didn't want to pay £10 to see the Taj Mahal so looked at it from a rooftop restaurant instead!

I'm sure when I worked on a photography mag I saw a pro photo taken of a lady walking up the steps at that sundial - it's such a distinctive structure it really stuck in my mind, even though the photographer never mentioned the location. <br /><br />Jaipur is deffo going on my list of places to visit. It's astonishing those other tourists wouldn't pay that much to see such an amazing building - all those sights for the price of a few forgettable chainstore coffees? Why did they go all the way to Jaipur if they didn't want to see it?

I would be happy to pay 70 dollars to see this in person. I was happy to pay to see sights in my own country, where I pay taxes and I never complained because I know that 'pretty' places need 'pretty sums' to be maintained. The only thing that slightly annoys me is when they ask me money to see a simple waterfall or something of the sort.
