Day 9 (6/26/2009)

So today I arrive in NEW DELHI! And all I can say is... Arriving in New Delhi at 3 in the afternoon beats the hell out of arriving in Kolkata at 1 in the morning... By far. Also, New Delhi would have been a WAY better starting point for my adventures in India because it's such a nice step up to what I've been through. The people here don't beg to you as much, and the main bazaar is waaay easier to handle than any in Varanasi or Kolkata. But then again they did toughin me up so now this place is a walk in the park. I also have a very nice room for only Rs300. man I'm getting spoiled here!
Too bad I leave tomorrow morning for Agra but I have reservations for a nice place there right next to the Taj Mahal. I'll be back in Delhi the day after tomorrow, so I Think I will call it a night. It's about 6:30 am back home so it only makes sence that I would want to go to bed now haha, good times. Oh, while I was at the airport leaving Varansi, during the second security I had some sort of mystery metal hidden in my backpack... i put my back through the scanner, i walked through the metal detector then the security lady pulled me off to the side and asked if this was my bag and if i had any coins in it... i said yes, and we pulled out my canadian, thai and US coins... then she emptied out the larger sipper and the medium zipper and the two on the sides... now all my shits in a bucket and my bags getting scanned again, for a second time, then a third time, then i finally ask to see the monitor and they show me, and by they i mean the rest of the security crew is now with us... and i look at what they see and it hits me I had two metal bookmarks in my pen holder in the smaller zipper which we already emptied (minus the bookmarks....) sigh, we all laugh and im let free... retarded. alrighty, not much happened today, just checking out of Varanasi, getting over frisked at the airport and now arriving in Delhi. Mmmm such a nice easy much needed day.
K im taking my two litre water bottle and heading to my room.
Tomorrow at 5:00am my train to Agra leaves.
byee.
