Greetings from New Delhi
Bloged in India by Shika on Sunday January 1, 2006 at about 5:36 pmHello Hello everyone
Happy New Year! Gerard and I arrived safely in New Delhi on thursday night. After leaving Melbourne on tuesday night we went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We had a ball in KL (although my brother had the runs 
). Unfortunatly our flight from KL to Delhi was brought forward 2 hours so we only got to spend a couple of hours in the city. We went shopping in Chinatown and they had lots of ‘genuine’ fakes. Paul Frank, Guess, Ralph Lauren etc. We traveled on a monorail which didn’t have a driver! The flight that was brought forward was the biggest pain, we had to board the flight after a long wait, and then were told to get off the plane because of security issues….omi god someone just let out a stinky fart in this internet cafe….yuck. Anyway after getting off the plane, everyone was made to re-board the same plane. on the plane there was a turban wearing guy sitting next to me, who reaked of alcohol and kept asking the steward for more alcohol…anyway when we finally landed in delhi…no one was here to collect us. When we rang my grandad, he had mixed up the dates and was still on his way here from Calcutta (on the train). So we had a bit of a dilemma and had to find a hotel to stay in for the night. The hotel was expensive and not as good as the one we stayed in KL. Anyway my grandad collected us the following day and we have been staying in a good place since then. The traffic is crazy here…as Gerard will tell you. anyway thats all from me. take care of yourselves and see you soon….time is flying!
