Kolkata (West Bengal) - February 21st, 2007

The Howrah Bridge is an amazing engineering work, similar in size to Sydney Harbour Bridge. About 100,000 cars cross it daily, so it's probably the busiest in the world. It's about 450 meters over the Hooghly River.
The Edens Gardens are by a lake with an interesting Burmese pagoda from Myanmar. Next to this park is the Calcutta Cricket ground. There is always people playing that game dressed in white. On Sunday morning it's full.
The Marble Palace is a marvellous mansion, and was built by Raj Bahadur. He collected all sorts of Victorian art pieces so the palace is very enjoyable but crowded with so many statues. I had to go and get a special permit to visit this place.
