Dehli and the smell of burning tires

I alway thought that cultureshock was somethong that happened to other people, thats until I arrived in Dehli. The traffic, the noise, all the people, the smell. Its an atack on all your senses. The roads are a free for all. Cars, bikes, rickshaws and people all occupy te same spac. And all the cars are honking the horn all the time. Theres beggars and tuts all over the place, and evryone who approached me and some people I met, wanted something from us. At one point there was a very helpful young man who showed us the way to a market, then a different guy came along and said that the first guy was lying to us, then the first guy came back and said the second guy was lying as well. Its very difficult to trust people here. In the end it turned out that the first guy was the real liar. Theres beggars everywhere, at one point a little boy who wanted to shine my shoes followed me for 500m trying to convince me. So all in all Dehli is very manic.

This was mostly on the first day though. On the second day our guide joined us, and showed us around a sikh temple. Where we went behind the scenes to see where they cooked food. This is food that everyone can come and eat for free, and you can get three meals a day here. We also went to the biggest mosque in India. It can hold 25000 people, it was the size of a stadium, So Dehli has some really bad parts, and some good parts. Did I like it? Not really, am I glad I went and experinced it? yes. At the moment Im in Jalsaimer, a desert town in west India, about 150 km from the Pakistani border. Me and my group will stay here for three nights, one of these nights we will spend in the desert.
