chilled monkey brains...
so yea, this place is nuts... a conicopia of sights and smells, changing with every step walking through the city.. extreme polar opposites of poverty and affluence...child beggers are everywhere, child like 5yr old children that hang off your legs as you walk, its pretty heartbreaking... the amount of indian people who freely admit that alot of the slumdog millionaire stereotypes are true is weird, but i guess thats how they can relate... driving out of delhi to agra was very off-putting, as the outskirts of the city are some of the worst slums of the world... watching them go by from the comfort of a bus left me unsettled... some of the other cities ive seen so far are clean and organized.. camels and elephants roaming the streets... the taj mahal lives up to its hype, and is easy to get lost in despite thousands of tourists... the amount of caucasion tourists ive seen is alot slimmer that i expected, practically none that are not relate to the commonwealth games, so we are a rare oddity and get constant stares... driving is always knd of life threatning.. car horns are used like sonar... everything else is ok, i dont eat much, not cause im scared but just that indian food really isnt for me i guess.. im spending too much money already.... drinking in india isnt cheap cause the only places to drink are like western resturaunts.. no seedy pubs or anything... ok im out for now, i move to a family homestay tonight somwhere in south delhi, will prolly be pretty affluent...
