So, it only took 5 days for them to try one of their scams with me. But I didn't let them try. This guy approached me on the street as I was walking back to my hotel and asked where I was from, Spain, I said. He went nuts and asked me to translate a letter for himn from English to Spanish for his bussiness partner in Barcelona. I have no doubt that such letter would have contained the details of some too-good-to-be-true deal. I said no, but no, thanks, smiling, and kept on walking. He insisted it would only take 5 minutes. I kept saying no and he followed me saying that I could me a lot of money, up to 5000 euros if I worked for his export company. I kept saying no and walking, and when he grabbed me by the arm to stop me I grabbed his arm, gave it a little squeeze and repeated it "you are not hearing me, I am not interested", smiling, and walked away. He let me go.

Woke up early today and took the bus to Amber Fort, I was the only foreigner on the bus again. Really cheap and pretty fun. Amber Fort was really nice. Met again Galen, the American, we shared a joint, he had some hash froim Kashmir...Then got back to town and here I am.

For the Samosa take the prize, deep-fried triangle-shaped pastries filled with green peas. I go up to any street stall and buy them for 5 rps a piece, nice.

I am headed now to the train station to re-comfirm my ticket, just in case, I leave tonight at 10.

See ya!
