Back in the Trenches

One forgets the true severity that is Dehli until you are thrust back into it. The constant assault on the senses is overwhelming but even more worriesome is it doesnt affect you as much the 2nd time. The intolerable noise, atrocious smells, dirt, grime, hustlers screaming out at you from all directions and walking with you, touching, prying, trying to lure you in. Everyone has something to sell, just waiting to see a little spark of interest.Hotels, hash, cash, all have an angle. my 250 Rupee hotel here has a shower that you have to nearly sit on the toilet to use(for those of you who have not traveled to India there is no boundary between your shower and the rest of your bathroom, the toilet shower and sink all share the same floor, it takes some getting used to.) And is down the sketchiest alleyway you've ever seen. this whole area is scandalous. But, just one more night to endure India then its off to South east Asia=)
Seems its raining in Thailand too. no worries, i need to clean off anyway.
And if the archeology of this blog perplexes some,try to keep it less profane for the laypeople.(send me emails instead of posting comments)
Peace
