On my last day in Delhi I went to the National Museum of India. Although some of the exhibitions are quite interesting it is shocking how little remains of this 5000 year old civilization. Frankly there is more to see at the Museum of Natural History in my hometown Leipzig... But then again as I was told during my stay here Indians just steal and/or sell anything they can get a buck for. And this is made even worse by widespread corruption, including museum staff...

Arrived in Delhi around 7AM. Fought my way through the annoying crowd of taxi drivers trying to screw you and found a reasonable price with a Tuk Tuk driver who brought me through the morning chaos to my hotel.

After lunch i got some fresh made delicious potato c...

Given the extraordinary sacred status cows have in Hindi religion it is quite remarkable to se...

Despite the fact that the hotel is advertising WiFi service of course they do not actually have it. After all we're still in India. But I found a nice little cafe around the corner with complimentary WiFi. After breakfast we walked through the narrow roads of old town up to the mighty citadel. The views from up there are quite spectacular. And unlike the castles of Jaipur Mehrangarh houses at least some ancient artworks and furniture as well as old weaponry a...
