Marche du City Market a Jama Masjid (mais pas la bonne!):
Je suis partie du marche a pied pour aller a la Jama Masjid (mosquee) la plus grande de Bengalore, ca n'avait pas l'air loin sur ma carte mais j'ai pense ce jour la que j'avais du me perdre puisque ca m'a pris au moins 1h et elle etait vraiment minie cette mosquee......
Je viens de decouvrir aujourd'hui 7/7/13, en faisant des recherches sur internet pour vous donner des details historiques, que ce que je croyais etre une ecole a cote du marche etait en fait LA Jama Masjid que je cherchais!....
Walk from the City Market to the (wrong) Jama Masjid:
I decided to walk towards the big Jama Masjid that the lonely planet was talking about.... I looked and looked but must have got lost (I thought then) cause it took me 1h of raming around to find a tiny Jama Masjid... And only today 7/7/13, I'm realising, as I went on the Internet to find more info to write down for you here, that I did see the big Jama Masjid super close from the market but thought it was a school... Ooopsy!
Des figues rouges?!... - Red figs?
