dirty delhi
hello everyone!! emily chook here
what a wierd couple of days. ive practicly gone through every single emotion since we got here!
excitment,fear, curiosity, agraphobia, stubboness, happiness, confusion, the list goes on.
delhi has a fine line to it. you can enjoy it, but if you start to really try to take it all in, it can squash you flat like the cow shit on the roads.
ive never seen anything like this. constant beebing of cars and street dogs barking away, you walk out into a main road with tuc tucs, cars, mopeds, motocycles, peddle bike taxis, all pilled up and they will all keep moving even if your in the way. if there is a space to go down they will take it, even if its on the pavement (well what seems to be the pavement).
I can only stand a few days in this place, so tomorrow we have booked a train to jhodpur. bit scared as there was no 1st class, so we had to get 2nd class. really dont know what to expect. it leaves delhi at 6pm and gets there at 6am. hopefully will get some sleep, but i really am not sure.
im looking forward to getting on the move, there are so many people here trying to swindle you. as soon as wegot down to the hotel we where staying at, their "residant travel agent" asked us to come and have a word with her. she basically was warning us about where we were going, using scare tactics. so we asked for a quote, and she worked out a pretty good route for us, which sounded lovely, but she then told us it was gonna be just over 1000 pounds for two weeks travelling!!!! we said no and that we wanted to travel independatly, then she said she would try and do it cheaper for us. what a load of dodgy bastards! honesly from the moment we arrived in that hotel, she has been trying to get us to book something with her, even down to ringing our room at 11 o clock in the morning.
Anyway hope you are all well and hopefully it will get better once we get out of this place
