Smelly Delhi

Flew into Delhi this arvo, no drama. Took a taxi to Parahganj, the main backpacker district and found a hotel easily enough. Taxi ride was crazy, as usual, but didn't see any dead bodies on the road, which is a good thing. When Tim was here two months ago, there was crushed dude all over the street... gross. India is pretty intense, that's probably the best way to describe it. You can't believe anything that anyone says, because 98% of the time they're trying to rip you off or set you up to get ripped off. It makes you feel bad for that 2% of times when some is actually being sincere. But I'm sure we'll adjust and be having a fine time whilst touring.

Just had a nice meal and tour around the bazaars a bit. Heading North tomorrow but will try to upload some photos if possible. Had some fun with the beard, am now sporting a hulk hogan style handlebar mustache and ridiculous sideburns... Let the fun begin!

  • You can't tease us with descriptions of the new facial hair-do and not show pictures! Have a great Thanksgiving, do they serve pumpkin pie in Delhi? Love, A
