Fun Fair

A couple of days ago, I visited the 'state fair' of Baroda.

The state fair was extremely similar to that in the US. The food served wasn't unique like the Krispy Kreme burgers of the US fairs, but it was equally unhealthy and we were advised not to eat it. The fairgrounds were also dirt grounds, like those in America, but probably cleaner. Heck, if asked to judge the cleanliness of both countries based on the state of their fairgrounds I'd probably say India was a good deal cleaner than the US.

The rides at this fair were also similar to those of American state fairs. They had a ferris wheel, (although this one was probably the fastest ferris wheel I had ever been on), a swinging ship, a scrambled eggs (called Break Dance, this was by far the best ride here), and a lot of similar kiddie rides. As Andy mentioned at the fair, the rides looked like they had been pieced together by duct tape. Everything creaked, and I felt like each ride was going to fall apart while I was on it. Luckily, nothing came apart, and we all enjoyed ourselves and left safe and sound.
