Delhi - what a contrast to any other part of India I had seen. This is where India's money is spent. The capital city is split into New Delhi and Old Delhi. New Delhi has been designed by the British and consists of fully functioning roads with traffic lights and zebra crossings, it was also clean which was a massive shock as I did not think this word existed in India.

When I arrived I was greeted by the hotelier from the bus and directed towards his jeep. The jeep then took me to my lodge and there I was debriefed on the visit's events. First on the list was a trip to the museum, just a short walk away. It was surreal to say the least where the exhibition boasted foetal corpes and genitalia remains. Nex...
