Hyderabad Buildings

Old Hyderabad was once ruled by Muslim leaders. The archetecture reflects this muslim influce. Pictured here is a four tower structure open for foot and vehicle traffic to pass through. Just outside of view is a huge Baazar-like market where you could get anything from fruit to digital cameras. Perhaps most shocking to me was the "open air dentist office"....literally a dentist office in what most of us in the US would call a mini-storage....not bad...just different... :)

We stayed at a lovely place called the State Bank College in Hyderabad. It was very comfortable and had large green areas away from the busy streets. It was odd to hear birds singing after staying in chaotic Bangalore...Hyderabad has something like 70 million people living there....man...

I will always think of the parents and teachers who are working in Hyderabad...a great group...and of the students from Hyderabad who taught us many lessons. Also, I will remember the sleepy Chai Ram and I shared in the heart of this wild, exotic, ancient place.
