New Delhi. The very first impression: Holly cow, have we landed in Brussels? There is nothing but fog! Yeah right, smog all around, no sun at all. Which appeared quite devastating for Tadeja, who’s just bought a new pair of sun glasses:)
Driving from the national airport was pretty chaotic and all the beings(!) involved into the traffic seem to be very successful in doing stunt-man’s job.
The whole city seems very chaotic. There are 12,8 mio inhabitants living here. Seeing only Paharganj (until now) doesn’t seem a reality. Where are all of them?
Paharganj… narrow, dirty streets, full of colorful and kitschy shops, cheep hotels and restaurants. Didn’t know where to put my eyes on: shops, a crowd, incredibly fast cars, motorbikes, rickshaws or cows. You loose you attention and you quickly bump into sth not expected. Or something/someone bumps into you. Although I have to say we were quite surprised because people were not too annoying at all. A good start.
We had our first Indian dinner, a very nice one- vegetable corma with naan bread, mango lassi and masala tea at the end. Mmmmm, loved it. And my stomach as well. Good boy!
A lot of impressions for the first day, hard to get them into a few sentences. At the end of the day I was nice to hear all the noise from the street. Wow, I didn’t become deaf listening to car horns during the day.
