Turkey - India - Nepal - China...

Delhi

INDIA | Sunday, 19 November 2006 | Views [653]

The first day in India was very tough and full of scams.

we fell in usual traps that indian visitors find on their way. Fake 'official tourism offices', lies about actual hotel prices, problem to find the REAL tourism office among thousands of fake one...

the first feeling in Delhi is something like that : What a MESS ! we were a bit prepared to the picture, but still...

crowd is just everywhere, no trashbox but masses of old garbage spread in streets, unbreathable air, irritated eyes (pollution), the unstoppable din of horns and engines, the people trying to catch your money by any means and realy pushing to get it... in the crowd, some people helped us very nicely, we appreciated.

the chaotic traffic of busses, autorickshaw, trucks, pedestrians, cows, bikes, rickshaws, motorbikes, horses, and sometimes cars made me very nervous. NO RULES on the road here... anyone can cross the road at any time, everyone is a crazy driver, but the strange thing is that there are no real accident around (yet)...

we found peace in a mosque...

and took a night train to go in the direction of Nepal.

We will come back in India in a month or so
