India, day1, its been an experience. as with every new country it takes a lot of time to get used to it. the taxi ride from the airport to the hotel gave us our first true taste of India. There were dogs roaming the streets, people on the sidewalks ligting fires to keep warm (we arrived 7:50) at dehli airport.the weather hit me hard, it was freezing when we got off the plane, i thort India would be hot, humid and warm, but it turns out that they have a winter too, and its freezing! I only brought tee shirts and one jumper and one pair of jeans. Felt like I was going to freeze to death.
The first thing i noticed about Indians is that they have little regard for rules. First glimpse of this was when we were on the plane, the announments keep Telling people to stay in their seats until the seatbelt sign has been switched off, but practically all the indian people jst got up and started getting their stuff fromm the overhead and going about thier own business even though the plane is in the process of landing. Really makes you wonder.....do they have any regard for safety? Rules? Order?
Our first night in india was at this hotel called C-park inn. it was a 3 or two and a halfish star hotel, and it was pretty bad. we first saw this other hotel in the same street, it had the same name as the one we were staying at, bar the first word in the name was grand. It looked much better then whatever accommodation we had and didn't look like a brothel of sorts. The street where our hotel was located looked like down town bagdad, I swear to god i had recollections of the place looking like a cod map, a war zone. The only tihngs that were missing was the soldiers and gunfire. The room we stayed in was accommodating 4 ppl. Except one of the beds was placed underneath the double bed
this was my bed..............fark!
The shower was pretty bad as well, it lacked hot water, a heating supply, no complementary cookies. I think I'd rather have gone on duke of Ed camp for two weeks. The bed was freezing, later found out that the temperature that night dropped to about 3 degrees. I only had my sleeping bag and a sheet of cloth which was a sorry excuse for a blanket. I didn't shower either becoz it was so bloody cold, didn't wanna freeze my balls off.
