Over my winter break I spent two weeks vacationing in Thailand, Malaysia and India. I would have to say my favorite destination was Bangkok, Thailand. The shopping was amazing! I will definitely be visiting Thailand again. Inshallah! My least favorite was India. I did get to visit the Taj Mahal but I would recommend to anyone that visits Agra, India (home of Taj) to go during any other season other than winter (we endured a lot of fog and was not able to see the magnificent itself ) and to book a tour bus from New Delhi. Traveling Tip...While you are India..watch out for the spider monkeys (literally).

Taj Mahal. As you enter the gates you are given white covers for you shoes. You must either enter the Taj Mahal barefoot or your shoes must be covered. (Agra, India) |
