Dehli

dehli is really cool and so gigantic. the part of town i'm staying in is near the new dehli train station and it reminds me of Koa San Road in Bangkok. There are tons of other travellers here and I don't feel so alone. My first day here I met some more French people. I ended up hanging out in the restaurant with them for 2 hours and then the 6 of us went by rickshaw to see Hanuyams Tomb. It was really cool. The tomb was built by the same person who built the Taj Mahal (which i am going to on Sunday or Monday). after the tomb. Eric and Kristof had to go to the travel agent to sort out their travel arrangements. Eric is this 46 year old crazy guy that Kristof (28) had met on the airplane coming here and they had decided to travel together. or more, Eric had decided he wanted to travel with Kristof. I made Kristoff give me his email so that I can hear updates on their travel adventures which i'm sure will be hilarious. the other 3 people I hung out with that day were 1 french girl who had been travelling with a Mexican girl for the last 3 weeks. they had come to Dehli to meet up with the French girl's father. the girl's father spoke no English at all. Surprisingly i've really been practicing my french the last couple of weeks in India.
after the travel agent part of the deal with the rickshaw was that we go to see at least two stores that give him commissions. none of us wanted to go we were all so tired. i ended up buying some overpriced tea and masala chai mix just because i felt bad that we were in these stores and no one was buying anything.
this morning the two guys set out on their journey and the 2 girls and dad went off and did their own thing today. i'll probably see them letter in the guest house restaurant. today i've taken it really easy. i got my train ticket for Agra for Sunday and bought a skirt and 3 tops. i think i'll try to figure out where the post office is today and mail some things home. then start on my new book.
