Last one
After a splendid time in Mumbai, I said a heartbreaking goodbye to my new friends and took the flight back to Delhi (or Dilli as the locals say it). Delhi was not at all as bad as I remembered, it had become a warm and sunny city while I've been away - and the fog was gone! I had a fun night with the others at the hostel in combination with some beer, and this did not make me want to leave the next morning! Quite the opposite in fact.
Well, after 22,5 awaken hours I was back in Vasa, Finland. Back in the cold and snow.
It has been the best decision ever to drop everything and move to Nepal for an autumn, and I've met some really incredible people indeed.
Always remember:
" Even if you're on the right track
you'll get run over if you just sit there."
That's all for this time.
I'm loving it!
Suddenly in Mumbai
After beeing in Agra, and seeing the beautiful Taj Mahal, I spent a night freezing my ass off. And to make it even worse, there was only cold water in the morning. Beeing so dissapointed at the fact that India was a lot colder than Nepal, I booked an impulsive flight to Mumbai to escape the cold showers and all the damn fog!
So here I am, after some difficulties, since there were no trains from Agra to Delhi (demonstrations going on) so we had to take a 6 hour long carride instead and almost missed the flight. So now I'm at Mumbai Airport, with only the tiny backpack I had with me to Agra (the rest of my stuff is at the hostel in delhi, and I didn't have time to go and get any of it), with no accomodation, at 2 am in the morning. Oh well, it's impulsive all right, and a lot warmer!
Still in Delhi
The fun thing is that I thought the hostel we stay at was wonderful - soft beds, warm showers, free beer for dinner! And fruit (real fruit) for breakfast! Everyone else thought the beds were hard as stone, and that he showers were pathetically tempered. I suppose everything is relative depending on where you've spent your last 3 months... and if you haven't had a warm shower in a month or so, tempered water is a nice change!
Delhi
I'm amazed! Can't wait to explore the city tomorrow.
New year, old habits.
I have a feeling that's it's gonna be a hell of a good year, and now I'm off to sit in the warm sun and have a lassi (and some painkillers for my poor head!).
