... buy the tour and everything is fine, if not unecessarily expensive. <br> Five seconds of internet searching reveals several websites which warn tourists not to be led to the side of the New Delhi Rail Station, for it is there that men in fake uniforms standing next to fake metal detectors will tell you fake information about your tain being delayed and will rush you to a fake tourist office where you will be sold an overpriced guided tour.<br> And that, my friends, is an Indian scam.

... ensuing chaos is difficult to believe. Very often 5 lanes, actually 2 lanes but 5 lines of overlapping/wheel arch to wheel arch traffic, have to converge through the eye of a needle into one. He who dares, wins!<br>First stop was to Delhi station to see about getting train tickets. Unfortunately the foreigner&#8217;s ticket office was closed &#8211; yes for new construction, so couldn&#8217;t do anything and have to go to the tourist office. The station ...

... body or possessions).  Oh, and where exactly are all the Delhi monkeys? I had read that Delhi was inundated with teeming masses of them. To the point where, after a deputy mayor was killed after he was attacked by a maurading bunch leading to a fall off a balconey, a plan was put into   place to capture them and move them to a nearby rural quarry.

... off of the airplane to India's Customs and weren't in line but maybe ten minutes? An officer ushered us over into the "Diplomats Here" line and teased us about being geographically challenged (our Anchorage-Seattle-London-Delhi route vs. telling us we could have gone Anchorage to Tokyo to Delhi and saved ourselves some air time.

And every time I found something that I though looked nice, I'd ask the price and it would be super high and Devika would come along and ask some questions and she's explain that the one I picked out was aways like the best possible quality of silk, or the hand-woven loom stuff, or it used actual gold thread or whatever. Essentially my eyes kept picking out the highest quality stuff ...

... return to the states. The whole event started winding down, and I realized I still needed some shoes to go with the outfit I'm wearing to the wedding. Rebecca decided she needed shoes too, and then we discovered a couple of other people in the wedding party also needed to get some shopping done.
