Chandigarh

This past weekend our group traveled to Chandigarh, which was designed by LeCorbusier in the 1960's. This is the first city we've visited in India that is so modern. During the trip we kept in contact with some of the Indian students on campus and I realized that the very reason they absolutely love this city; is the same reason that we didn't care for it that much, its modern. Its very different from the other cities I've seen here in India.

Don't get me wrong, its a very nice city; well planned, large streets, and a lot of greenery, but very European with a bit of California thrown in the mix. After living in Jaipur and visiting Agra, Chandigarh seemed too sterile and not nearly as exciting. I didn't worry about getting hit by a car and the traffic actually seemed to follow some type of rules.
