The town of Chandigar

Chandigar, 28-03-1994Designed by Le Corbusier and recreated as a capital to the for the state of Haryana, Chandigar certainly doesn t look like most of the indian cities i have seen so far. Broad avenues and huge patches of unused open public land that look like waste sites and are used as public toilets, an european looking shopping hallthat is still distinctly indian in appearance. However, the Rock Garden proves that evrything can be recycled in the field of art and would even get the Efteling in Holland jealous, quite good indeed. No cheap hotels in Chandigar but i found a cheap dormitory that seems to be used mostly by by locals from out of town working in this city. An elderly Sihk entered the dormitory early evening and asked me to write a recommendation letter for him for a job with the Tourisme board of India. He was so straight forward and friendly i felt i could not possible refuse and wrote him the letter on the spot.
