Namaste!
Well,after a sleepless night on the plane I finally made it to Delhi! My driver was waiting for me at the airport and I arrived at my hostel smoothly.Well if you can call an Indian taxi ride smooth..I think my driver had a death wish and didn't care if he took me with him! Silly me I always thought you have to drive BETWEEN the lane dividing lines.. but I made it in one piece, and saw dogs,cows,monkeys and more pagal (crazy) drivers than I can count on the way! I am loving the Indian attitude towards things, England was always too polite for my taste.There you see signs like: We are truly sorry for any inconvenience that you might encounter from our current airport maintenance,please do not hesitate to contact our staff if you have any questions/worries/etc. And then the sign I saw at Delhi airport: Airport maintenance. Inconvenience regretted. right on!
I have had my first cups of chai with a local shopkeeper who sold me an over-priced scarf, said no to my first beggar (with the help of another traveller, thank you Uli) and seen the first puppies on the street without carrying them home, so all in all I think I'm doing fine! I am very proud of myself for actually leaving my room on the first day. Now I'm gonna go enjoy the sunset from the rooftop,and then after a long nights sleep I'm off to new adventures!!!
