January 11 Delhi

Yohoo peeps

India is crazy! The traffic is insane, but everyone knows exactly what they're doing. We had to cross the street earlier, and that involved walking with my shoulders raised through a roundabout with three lanes and everyone honking. Our guide said "to get your license in India you need three things; good horn, good breaks and good luck". We walked around the area today with our new friend David from Austria, who was really helpful and calming in this madness. There are many families living on the streets and the kids come running after us, touching and begging for money. We try to ignore it, because they're already getting help from local organizations, but it is weird and creepy and sad. We met our group today for dinner (I had Dal Tadka, which was spicy lentils with veggies), and we were honestly pretty shocked. We thought we would travel with people our own age, but we are the youngest ones and then there's someone around 30, and some around 60. But everyone are nice and easy to talk to so we are excited to travel with them for two weeks! It's cold here and we only brought summer clothing (whuupsi), but the ladies we're travelling with let us use their jackets, they're very kind :)

So here we are from Norway, Austria, Australia, Spain, Canada and South-Korea.

I didn't take many pictures today because I just had to feel how things were, but tomorrow we're going to Old Delhi and I'll bring my camera.

Stay tuned! xx
