Culture Shock

Wow… I've been in Delhi 5 hours, and this place is officially crazy. Walking through the Main Bazaar in Paharganj, I saw people, cars, bikes, rickshaws, scooters, tuk-tuks and even cows. There's garbage, spit, cow shit and all sorts of unidentifiable things strewn across the ground. I've been hit by rickshaws and bikes a couple of times, jostled by passers-by and stared at by the locals. The shopkeepers won't let you leave until you buy something. (and when you say "No thankyou" they think you're bartering!) The little of Delhi I've seen is so crazy and so ALIVE. I can feel that ball of fear rising up my throat, and growing bigger and bigger. It's the fear of something new, something different. I can't wait to explore more of Delhi tomorrow!
