Hyderabad - The city of pearls

Since it was the cheapest way to go to Kolkatta, we were doublely happy to go to Hyderabad. We even go housed by Simon, the guy we met on the train from Quebec, who had been working at Satyam for a year now. He knew his way around so he made it easier for us to check the town around and do the major thing in the city. And so, we visited Charminar, went to a light show at an old castle, shopped around for bangels and pearls. Sadly Carlos got very sick, either by insolation or food poisionning so he had to skip some parts to rest. One night, we went to a club, probably the worst club ever, there were exactly 5 women in the room and the guys were dancing like crazy all ther favorite bollywood hits... not the best sight. Hyderabad is quite specially with its big muslim community, its always weird to see women completly dressed in black with only the eyes uncovered, espcially in this type of heat! Next we have to travel to Kolkatta by plane, and Julien decides to get sick... we have a long way to go!
