Ok, So I made it to India in one piece. The plane ride was freaking awful however, I just can't believe how I made it through that long ass flight with nothing to do but sleep and watch shitty movies. Movies like Paul Blart; Mall Cop , or Bride wars my god never again will I watch that mall cop movie, my iq has definitely dropped because of it. I get to the airport my cabbie is waiting for me with a sign with my name spelled incorrectly. A realy nice dude from nepal, all we talked about was his family and how much he loves living in delhi, all this while flying down what seems to be an interstate at 60 miles an hour. Traffic laws don't mean a damn thing here, three lane highway with five lanes of cars all flashing their brights and tapping out drum beats on their horns. It was all a little mindblowing at first, I was having a hard time even responding to this guys questions about my life. However we made it into the insanity which is delhi and i got to my hotel where Saul was awaiting for me. Rooms were pretty nice, and we have a flat screen with some awesome indian channels, as well as HBO. Saul and I chatted it up for a while then proceded to get drunk, it was midnight in Delhi but it felt like 10 in the morning to me so I self medicated till I was able to sleep.
Today was my first day out in the oven its pretty mild temp right now at about 101 degrees, but the heat is fairly dry so it really doesn't feel all that bad. We were gonna go see the red fort and a couple of the parliament buildings but we got very sidetracked by all of the shops and all of the people. It really is something, the way everyone does business around here, they will reel ya in to their store with a "hello sir," then proceed to push various items such as Louis Vaton wallets and ugly ass t-shirts at you all the while quoting their ridiculous price. I think I'm doing fairly well w hen it comes to brushing off all of the touts and scammers and people trying to sell ya drugs but they are some persistant bastards. Even so all i ended up buying was a knock of armani watch and it is straight ballin let me tell ya.
Honestly I haven't been here long but I can already tell how much fun I am going to have, we are off to Agra to see the Taj Mahal first thing tomorrow morning. Its only a two and a half hour t rain ride so we opted for the lowest class, only two bucks a ticket, this shit is so cheap. Well I will try to write again soon, I hope everyone is well!
P.S. Sorry about the grammer and punctuation this keyboard is total shit, and I'm still recovering from my bad ass Jet Lag.
PEACE,
