Incredible India!

Two years ago when my wife and I took our trip to India we came across the advertisements of "Incredible India" which was supposed to boost tourism within India. We found the the phrase kind of cheesy and had several laughs about it during the trip. But as we were doing our flight check in at Delhi International Airport at 2 AM (in the midst of our 40 hour journey home) we saw the sign again and laughed. This time was because we had to agree, India is in fact, incredible.
He now have the opportunity to study this incredible country in geography class. What I want you to do is to read through the following photo journals about different aspects of life within India, and compare them to what you already know. Post about what surprised you? What interested you? What did you learn?

Here are the links, enjoy!
