Some pictures from India

I won't be more ambitious than that for now, but it was a really fascinating and wonderful
Taj Mahal:






Fatehpur Sikri -- a beautiful abandoned palace and mosque complex in Uttar Pradesh, about an hour from the Taj




Pictures from working on our project -- doing customer interviews with mobile money operators and users.  Individuals who used the service were generally migrant workers in delhi who were from other parts of India; they used the system to send money home to their families.  Operators typically ran electronics stores or convenience stores and acted as mini-banks for people who lacked access to financial services.  The partner we were working on the project with managed the technology and infrastructure that allowed these transactions to happen.





 Mumbai - view of Taj Palace Hotel
 Mumbai - Victoria Terminus (biggest train station, built under the British Raj)
 Mumbai - view from a beach club that Gideon's friend Karan brought us and a bunch of other students to.  Karan's family owns a bunch of restaurants in Mumbai, and they fed us very well while we were there!
 Old Delhi - Chandni Chowk - crazy street market in Delhi
