Boom. Delhi

I made it to Delhi late last night, showing up with a hotel in mind but not a reservation. It took 3 hours driving around with an almost schizophrenic cab driver to get the price down from 150 US to Rs700. I don't want to talk about it.

Today: SIM card, breakfast, chai (!), reservation (learned from that mistake), walking through alleyways so tight it doesn't matter what time of day it is; they are lit only by neon and fluorescent lights. Saw a couple blacksmiths making chisels.

I'm going to make my best effort to keep updating this puppy as frequently as possible.


See you from Varanasi/Benares tomorrow.

Latest Plans

It looks like things are coming through in West Bengal within the next two weeks. I might have work over there; we're just waiting on some paperwork. Materials are coming in!

Current plan is to get in to Delhi early next week and immediately hop on a train to Varanasi for some sightseeing. Every backpacker I ran into last time around asked if I had been. I guess it's time to go see it.
