New Delhi airport.

boarding to Lucknow.

1 thing that we've learnt is NEVER EVER TRUST people from India!!!!! you know why??!!
i tell you why...
apparently we've booked hotels thru sending emails and all and we had actually paid the deposits all.. some of the hotels we had even paid fully.. so we reached Delhi at 11sth at nite, planning to spend the nite in the hotel cuz our nx flight to lucknow is 8am in the morning.. then we had our bus to fetch us which is 108people to our hotel.. almost an hour in the bus still not reaching.. then the driver say reach d.. BUT THERE'S NO HOTEL!! then our leader went down and argue with the 'ke-leh-nas' then at last they said they had given off our rooms to other people cuz they offer some higher price.. all of us was like.. WTHHH!!?? we had booked our rooms but they can just sell of like that?? end up we return to the airport and spend the night there instead.. -.-

reached lucknow then we had to sit another 5-hours bus ride.. super bumpy as like as if u're sitting in a vibrating object.. boyy, tats suffering... ~.~

luckily we found toilets which was *extremely clean!* yuckkkk!

pictures taken from the bus

most of their houses are made of hays

after that super exhausting hours of bus ride.. we reached our meditation center at last..

Dean Mahamongkolchai Meditation Center India




the building for us to stay in.. inside and outside

another building.. most of the buildings in that center look more or less the same..


meditating~

Buddha's statue its very enormous indeed..

Kachchi Kuti (Sudatta's Stupa)

Pakki Kuti (Angulimala's Stupa)

this kids were begging for money.. but we cant afford to give any of 'em cuz if we gave 1 then a herd of them will come.. and if we dont cont giving they fight among themselves..-.-

The Buddha performed the only miracle of his life in response to a challenge from six non-believers here.

We also visited Jetavana.. Jetavana was the place where Buddha gave many teachings and delivered many of the discourses for the first time more than in any other place. Somehow Lord Buddha was in love with the place and spent 24 monsoons of his life, which is more than in any other monastery. The Jetavana Monastery Shravasti is indeed one of the most holy places in Shravasti.

The Bodhi Tree tat has been there since 2500 years ago..

sticking the 'gold papers' <-- idk wat is it called area around Jetavana

there's a well and the water is believed to be holy

I was about to sleep then XinYong which is my ex-skul senior aka best friend came and said "Janlyn! come lets take picture!!" xDDD
