Delhi Mayhem


Well, we've arrived in Delhi and it's every bit and definitely a little bit more crazy than anticipated. It does'nt really matter how much you read or prepare for arriving in India, the place will still completely shock and surprise.

We're staying in the backpackers area (Paharaganj) which is basically a narrow alley packed full with rickshaws, cows and one armed beggars and touts ready to pounce on the unknowing tourist. I might as be carring a huge neon sign which reads 'tourist' around with me, it really is that obvious.

On the upside though, once the initial culture shock has worn off I think India will be totally amazing, can't wait to see what the next 5 months will bring!
