Taxi Time

Can't take too long, my friends want to use the internet cafe as well and there are only 2 computers...and only one is available.

We're in India now. Arrived in Dehli on Sunday night and managed to get a hotel room pretty late at night. 2nd day we spent making arrangements for the rest of the week.

Mostly, we've been in a cab driving around. Quick re-cap:
Day 1: flew into Dehli and crashed at a hotel
Day 2: made arrangements for the week and drove to Jaipur (aka the "Pink City")
Day 3: Amber Fort and some other misc. stuff
Day 4: Jaipur to Agra via car
Day 5: Taj Mahal, etc. and took the night train to Varanasi
Day 6: kicked it in a cab driving around Varanasi

Things of interest:
shanty towns--I keep noticing that the shanties change depending on the city
beggars--everyone wants your money
food--loving the curry
hotels--have been quite decent
taxi--lots of crazy-ass traffic: bikes, cars, taxis, rickshaws, horses, cows in the streets, pedestrians, anything you can think of is in the street

Okay, time is up. Try to check in later.
