Category: Feeling better? Check. Half-day of class? Check. Signed up for a corporate tour? Nope. It’s time to see Delhi!
So after 3 days of getting sick and/or driving the porcelain bus, I had finally gotten over my ‘Delhi Belly’ and was able to venture outside of the hotel. It would’ve been an amazing irony if I had flown all the way to Delhi, seen two other cities (Agra and Jaipur), then been too sick to leave the hotel in Delhi! Luckily, I’ve gotten that out of the system.
Around mid-afternoon, Jig, Pat S., and I decided to go out wandering/shopping. At first, we decided to walk, and then reconsidered and took a rickshaw. First, if you’ve seen any of the videos on YouTube about traffic in India, you know that the roadways look like a demolition derby is taking place…yet, I still haven’t see a real accident yet. Not that they don’t take place, as I’m certain they do, but that as chaotic as it is, everyone seems to know what everyone else is doing. Cutting each other off, driving the wrong way down the street, instant U-turns across several lanes, avoiding chickens and cows and anything else roaming the street, and of course, pedestrians. Insane. What’s even more insane? The rickshaw ride cost 20 rupees on the way to our first destination, or $0.43. TOTAL, for all 3 of us.
