It was only a whistle stop tour in India for six days, but it felt like six years. The only redeeming feature of Delhi was that we did not get sick (for once). Apart from this, well.... we didn't like it. We don't want to tar the whole country with the same brush, and Abi has been to Goa and loved it, but maybe the capital just ain't our thing. But let us tell you what we did not like:
1. Being run over by a cyclo
2. 20million people in 20square metres
3. EVERYONE is a tout, bar none (even your "friend"/ tuk tuk driver/ train "staff"... or those that cry )
4. Aggressive monkeys
5. Throwing stuff on your back to steal your bag
6. People spitting on your trousers
... and the list goes on.
But on the positive:
1. Taj Mahal
2. Cheap awesome Thalis
..um... struggling now, but these are two excellent points.

Go there if you are hard as nails, or well off enough to give away your cash without a bother (or a product in return). Don't if you are in any way gulible, you will never make it home!
