India 1: Eman 0

Day one in India....Delhi 1, Eman 0. yup, I got a bad case of "Delhi belly" which basically means that the paneer and egg curry kicked my buttay last night. Add on top of that the horrible stressfulness of Delhi without train/hostel tickets and I ran all out of energy. I think if I write anything now it is not going to be too pleasant, so I'm just gonna hold off until later. suffice it to say, todaywas a nightmare, with everyone trying to hound you to go to their office. Even unofficial travel agancies claim to be official government places and "officials" with uniforms on and id's come up to "help" you, but its all a prank. mmmmmeeeehhhh....well we ended up booking all our hostels and train tickets for the rest of our staypretty much and we know we got jipped but retrospectively its nottooo much money for usand it'll be better than being hassled everywhere we go. Needless to say it was a big awakening for us. met a nice older lady who's an experienced traveller who is just as frustrated as us, but we're all happy now;) gonna go see the taj mahal tomorrow, so should be fun!! anyhoo, India so far has been comforting as it is way more develpoped than nepal, which is good after so much time with little electricity. hopefully the next few days will be more relaxing and better for my tummy;) cheerio!
