India in 60 seconds

I’ll try to write more later, but that’s about how much time I have now, so here goes:

Landed in New Delhi yesterday.

Not too hot.

New airport. Clean. Fast.

Traffic still crazy. Man riding motorbike 10-15mph in middle of highway talking on cell phone. Missed turn-off? No problem, just back up, traffic goes around. Use horn a lot. Bigger vehicle wins.

New Suzuki Swifts seem to be popular, along with many other tiny newer cars, then many buses, auto-rickshaws, and pedal bikes.

Buildings, it’s hard to tell if they’re going up or coming down; everything seems to be in a perpetual state of construction (or demolition?). Shiva’s land for ya.

Women everywhere in colorful Saris and other clothes, men mostly in t-shirts/jeans or business clothes.

Food: great.

More to come soon!
