I have arrived. And slept for a good 20 hours after arriving. Maybe the combination of jet lag, making up for not sleeping the past year and the heat. Yes, it is hot. I took a non ac taxi from the airport to my host's house and was sweating like I was in an intense bikram yoga class. I could feel the sweat drops rolling down my skin from just sitting in the cab, how am I going to survive 8 hours a day of actual yoga classes in heat like this? I take pride in being a world traveler, but when I opened the taxi windows hoping to get some air only to be smacked in the face with a gust of hot air and dust that literally took my breathe away, I knew I was in trouble. My biggest fear when traveling is always the Mosquitos. They seem to find me anywhere and everywhere. So having packed 3 bottles of insect repellent, one of the first things I asked my host was if there are lots of Mosquitos around. "No so much this time of the year, it's too hot for them." She replied.
Some pictures from me first day in Delhi. We went to a Hindi temple where there was a huge picture of jesus in their gift shop, followed by a Buddhist temple that taught the technique of vipassana which could "give immediate" results, followed by a Catholic Church that was "under CCTV surveillance" and finally a shikk temple where Marie got scolded for siting improperly.
