Kolkata
This is the place were the British Empire entered into India and the East India Trading Company came to live. At the beginning there was nothing apart from shallow waters and a small fishing village. The British took the place for trading purposes and established a hup. At one time it was the second largest city of the British Empire. And it was the Capital of the Indian Part of the Empire, before the capital was moved to New Delhi.
Stayed there for four nights and went from the Eden Garten Cricket stadium to the Victoria Memorial to Mother Teresas house. Love this place. It's better than its image.
