	I arrived in New Delhi a few days ago and I'm still having fun. It's a bit tough to get around here since people are always hassling you...especially if you are white or Japanese. Very interesting. I arrived late at night and had the fun experience of getting to a hotel in the middle of Delhi from the airport. Got to a deserted alley around 1am and wandered around being chased by rickshaw drivers trying to get me to go to hotels (they get commission) and chased by holy cows, which seem to wander around like lost dogs. On the plane I met two Australians, a nice woman named Sonia and a crazy old man with a bipolar personality disorder and a B.O problem named John. Entertaining bunch, and I've been touring around with Sonia mostly and John a little, if he can sneak up on me. This place has even more smog than Bangkok and my eyes are constantly soar. Everything is dirty and people piss and crap all over the place, but hey...it's a big Indian city. It didn't take very long for me to get used to it, since many people told me how tough it is to travel though India. I think I'll manage just fine. I re-booked my flight to Nepal for the 19th of march and I will be leaving Nepal and getting back to Bangkok on the 13th of April.
