    Travelling india: the trip with no plans

    4 days in Delhi

    INDIA | Sunday, 23 May 2010 | Views [334] | Comments [8]

    After a hectic first day in Delhi I started to settle in a bit..Life is very different here..The driving is absolutly crazy, being a foreigner here is very strange..on the buses or trains people constantly stare at you..today 3 people asked if they could take a picture of me, one man even wanted my signiture..I gave him a fake one just in case he was up to no good...travelling alone I thought it would be a bit lonely...thats not the case at all, people always want to talk, although many are only after your money..some are legitimatly nice. Im currently staying with an Indian family..they are SO generous..they insisted that I take a bed while their oldest son sleeps on the couch..they treat there visitors with such respect..I find it hard to accept their generosity.. Today on the metro I asked an Indian man for Directions..we ended up becoming friends..he introduced me to his wife and friends and ended up buying me a coffee and giving me his email address..Off to Bhopal tomarrow on the 6 am train

    Jesus Evan, all I can find about Bhopal is info about the worst industrial poisoning ever to have happened there from a pesticide plant in 1984.
    Hope its much better now!
