Hi – from India!
Hi – from India! Well, after all the preparation and planning, we’ve finally made it to India. And it has been a real culture shock! Chris and I are currently sitting in a little Internet café in Agra. We’re about five minutes from the Taj Mahal, and we’re both really looking forward to visiting it later today. I’ve read so much about it and seen so many photos. I think it’s going to be amazing. It’s very hot so it’s a relief to be inside somewhere nice and cool.
We arrived in Delhi on Sunday, and we spent the next couple of days visiting a few sights. We went to a beautiful mosque, and we walked around some very old ruins. It was very hot and crowded, and the roads were so busy with cars, trucks, and buses everywhere! I’ve never seen so much traffic in my life. But the people are so friendly, and the food is amazing. We’ve eaten in a few of the street restaurants. The food is fantastic – and it’s so cheap! We had some vegetarian food in a café near our hotel yesterday. The food was great and the people were so nice. I think if you only eat in western restaurants and stay in western hotels, you won’t experience the real India.
We’ve seen lots of rickshaws, the little bicycle taxis – but we haven’t ridden in one yet. I don’t know how the poor rickshaw drivers have the energy to cycle across the city all day. We usually take a taxi or try and get on a bus, but that isn’t so easy. They’re so crowded, it’s hard to squeeze yourself in.
I’m enjoying every minute of being here. I think India is the most interesting country I’ve ever been to. I’ve only been here for five days but it feels like longer. We’re taking the train tomorrow, so I won’t be able to update my blog for a day or two.
Take care!

Hi – from India! Well, after all the preparation and planning, we’ve finally made it to India. And it has been a real culture shock! Chris and I are currently sitting in a little Internet café in Agra. We’re about five minutes from the Taj Mahal, and we’re both really looking forward to visiting it later today. I’ve read so much about it and seen so many photos. I think it’s going to be amazing. It’s very hot so it’s a relief to be inside somewhere nice and cool.
We arrived in Delhi on Sunday, and we spent the next couple of days visiting a few sights. We went to a beautiful mosque, and we walked around some very old ruins. It was very hot and crowded, and the roads were so busy with cars, trucks, and buses everywhere! I’ve never seen so much traffic in my life. But the people are so friendly, and the food is amazing. We’ve eaten in a few of the street restaurants. The food is fantastic – and it’s so cheap! We had some vegetarian food in a café near our hotel yesterday. The food was great and the people were so nice. I think if you only eat in western restaurants and stay in western hotels, you won’t experience the real India.
We’ve seen lots of rickshaws, the little bicycle taxis – but we haven’t ridden in one yet. I don’t know how the poor rickshaw drivers have the energy to cycle across the city all day. We usually take a taxi or try and get on a bus, but that isn’t so easy. They’re so crowded, it’s hard to squeeze yourself in.
I’m enjoying every minute of being here. I think India is the most interesting country I’ve ever been to. I’ve only been here for five days but it feels like longer. We’re taking the train tomorrow, so I won’t be able to update my blog for a day or two.
Take care!
