J S Inn New Delhi

... is a drain. Faucets but no tub or shower stall decorate one wall and large buckets below are used to mix the water to the desired temperature. A cup is then used to wet, wash and rinse right onto the floor, with the water draining away. I found myself proud to know the bathing routine and the girls thought it was the coolest 'shower' ever :)

After bathing, I took Sumi and Jaya out for a quick walk around the block. The 4- and 5-story apartment buildings ...

... the air. There was a strange sweet scent among the acrid dirt and exhaust fumes. The scent took me back years to my childhood. As a Veterinarian's son, I could detect the sweet smell of cow dung. We had come for a taste of adventure. I thought to myself, "we are going to get a mouth full."

As we entered the hotel, we were welcomed with small flower petals being sprinkled on top of our heads by friendly hotel staff. They also put a small red ...

... on my own the dark and narrow alleys of bazar Paharganj. From what I have seen from the rickshaw, it has a very intense atmosphere and I sort of fear everybody is staring at me as the next tourist to fall under one of their traps. I don't remember who suggested me to find an accommodation in the bazar, but he mentioned that it was an Indian version of Kaoh San Road. That's absolutely not true.

Well we made it back to Delhi after a heinous 5am express train from Amristar (we upgraded to the first class, which it definitely was). We checked into a different hotel this time, upgrading ourselves a bit in anticipation of Stephanies arrival. After check-in we enjoyed some lunch and then took a rickshaw south to Khan Market to buy some jeans. Charis ripped the ****** out of hers a week ago, and Arik's ...

I thought that today I would go out and explore by myself. I'm okay with the Auto Rickshaw thing now although I'm positive that whatever they charge me is double what the locals would pay but the most I've paid has been just over a pound and sometimes it takes about an hour to get to these places after battling with traffic and the road system in Delhi so in the grand scheme of things its not much at all. The only disadvatage of these Rickshaws is that ...

I went back to Delhi and was very proud of myself because I wasn't freaked out any more. A definite change in me, thank goodness, it was pretty hardcore the first time.Saw some stuff (mostly British vandalism at tourist places) got a bit lost, nice. Got my train down south just have to say that ...
