"If you really want to spend the whole day in an air-conditioned building, then go to an air-conditioned underground parking lot to get into an air-conditioned car to go to another air-conditioned underground parking lot of another air-conditioned building, then in this case you have the right city!"
"The most disappointing place on Earth, covered in dirt and urine."
"Except for a small square with a tower, where everyone takes the same stupid pictures, and other guys try to sell you toys, the rest of the city is nothing. You are in Tuscany-go to any town, and you will get much more pleasure from it!"
"All the beauty and admiration of an ancient civilization is completely overshadowed by how terrible modern civilization is. Think of all the worst characteristics of India, and then add sand to it."
"It was beautiful 10 years ago, but now it is destroyed by influencers."

It is dark inside, unexpectedly sparsely populated, and therefore you are in a hurry to go outside. Agra Fort, located opposite the Taj Mahal, is no less magnificent, bright and rich in history. I liked it better."
"It's just a small painting that hangs quite far away in a hall crowded with tourists. Don't get me wrong, this is a beautiful, iconic painting, but you shouldn't visit the Louvre just for the Mona Lisa. Most of the other works of art in this museum are more impressive than this painting."
