Day 2 of the conference
Last night I took the malaria pill and woke up with a fever, feeling like shit. We had some sessions and in the evening they had another mixup with the rooms so we had to give back the keys, we got them back at around 12 30 did some drinking, went to the party etc..
(Sorry for the short description, but the conference actually ended 4 days ago, need to catch up)
Day 3
We did projects, got some good ideas. In the evening we opened the TV and saw the headlines on CNBC *****AIESEC MEETS IN AGRA. We did some more drinking with our friends from LC Pune India.
Day 4
Last day of the conference everyone was sad even though no one was actually leaving Agra at least one day. Got a nice speech from Brody (PAI). In the evening we had Indian night, short non alcoholic, party.
After that we were suppose to go to a nice hotel booked by the OC but only some people made it. Me and Mirko ended up in this rathole, called hotel Apollo. They charged us an extremly high price for indian hotels (20 euro) dont laugh thats a lot in india, you can get a nice hotel for half that. And this hotel had drty walls and a bathroom that looked like a public toilet. Also with us in the hotel were the Hong-Kong delegation, they were fed up with India and couldn t wait to leave and never come back. We are not that easily discouraged. We decided to change hotels in the morning.

Day 1 After the conference
We went to the hotel where the other people were staying, got there, did some haggling and got a room much better than the one in which we stayed last night 40 % cheaper. (12euro)
Went to the Taj Mahal and got lucky, insted of paying the entrance fee750 rupies 15 euro, there was a festivall so the entrance was free.
After that we brushed up on our bargaining skills and got the souveniers at 30% original price.
In the evening we did some more drinking with people from AIESEC Pune and some others. They were thrilled with the game *zoom*.
