Delhi to Bangkok!

The last few days in India were spent in Delhi. What a chaotic, hectic city! I can't say I love the city but it was an experience to add to my list of many I have gained so far. Christian and I met with an old friend of his who he went trekking with 7 years ago and his wife, that was really nice. They have been married for 3 years already and were shocked at pretty much everything Christian and I told them about ourselves. 

The Indian culture compared to western cultures is significantly different but from our discussion neither is better than the other. They all have pros and cons. For example the Indians are very family-orientated and get together very frequently, they often all live together! We found this was a pro but it's just our western mindset that the kids fly from the nest after they turn 18 and have more freedom to study, travel and not instantly get married, for example. 

After a tearful farewell at Delhi airport, I left Christian to get his flight to hamburg and I had to wait a little while for my flight to Bangkok. It was a long journey and I arrived at my hostel at 9pm, managed to shower, eat something, chat to some travellers then fall into bed. 

My first impression was a little tainted because it was dark when I arrived but

today I will be exploring this buzzing city and will let you know what it's like later..to be continued!
