Hello everybody. Finally had the time to write an entry. Got here safely although the drive into Delhi was a little hair raising; the traffic is crazy and the minibus I ws in looked like it was held together with masking tape! Been here two days now and haven't quite settled in. I'm in the middle of the most intense market in Delhi with cows wandering aroud and rickshaws constantly dodging between people. It's not been a very easy couple of days, I'm having some problems with anxiety and homesickness but I went to see doctor Gupta who gave me some anti stress medicne so hopefully that will help. Yesterday I met a really cool Canadian couple who showed me around Paharganj and helped me try to settle in. We hung around the market having water fights with the Indian children. Sorry there are no photos yet as I haven't visited many places as it's tricky negotiating the auto rickshaw drivers. Having to haggle is a bit weird and I don't think I'm that brilliant at it :). I want to try and visit Rajasthan in the next couple of days and leave Delhi because it's crazy and stressful. The amount of touts trying to get you in their shops is immense. I'm hoping the rough couple of days with the food I've had are behind me now otherwise I'm worried I may become a bit ill. Hope you are all well.
