if i could describe mine and Jeff's arrival in India this morning after nearly 20 hours of travelling and jumping forward 11 hours in time... i would say "wow"....
India so far is everything i expected and completely different than i imagined... to start off with, what's with the smoke?!?!?
like any well prepared traveller, i thought it would be a good idea to check the local weather a few days leading up to my departure... on more than one occasion i found the odd description of "smoke" for Delhi.. figuring this was just some Indian terminology for fog or mist i dismissed it when our plane began it's decent into the Indian capital under a blanket of white... it wasn't until we actually gasped our first breath of the white stuff that i realized.. wow, they really meant smoke.... hmmm.. i wonder if this will haunt my lungs in years to come..
other than that... India has been crazy drivers, TONS of people, crowded streets full of every kind of shopping delight, honking cars, scooters, bikes, screaming children, urinating in the streets, colours... and SMOKE...
tomorrow we're off to Jaipur, the pink city, to see if we can start seeing some of the culture beyond the big ugly city... (14 January 2010)
