Del(h)icious

Hey everybody,

This is now my fourth day in Delhi and I got some new pictures of the Office so can see where I am working.



Those first days I am reading a lot about the Project I will work on. Therefore I am leaving at the 17th of October to Bangalore, because the main work has to be done there.


What I also have to tell you is that the food here is so damn good. Even if I do not feel that good in my stomach this morning. In those four days here I have not once eaten the same meal. There are so many different kinds of food here that you dont know where to start.

This weekend I am trying to go to Agra where the Taj Mahal is located and maybe Jaipur. I am so looking forward to be on my own again to travel. Next weekend then I want to go near the Himalaya to climb, because except for a swing where I sometimes do pull-ups there is nothing here to climb :(

Today I am probably getting a Prepaidcard so you can call me (if you want). This is not cheaper for you but for me :) I let you know.

See ya

Happy Birthday Mr. Gandhi

So here I am in the capital city of the biggest democracy of the world.

The flight was very cool. I sit between to Indian guys and they were really funny. I had a couple of beer with the one on my left and as it came to lunch I remembered that in India you always eat with the right hand (they really do, i know now). But it is pretty hard to cut with the left hand and eat with right. Anyways, I survived and as we landed I was picked up right at the exit of the plane.

Next surprise was that I have an own driver here. Well, I share him with the other guys in my appertement but the are not here yet. By the way my appartement is pretty nice. I load some pictures up tomoorow, because I am at the office right now and forgot my camera.




Yesterday I could not go to any Internet shop or any shop at all because everything was closed. The reason for that was that it was a national holiday, because of mahatma Gandhi's birthday. So my driver took me to old Delhi and I sneaked around for a couple of hours which was really interesting.

There are not many tourists around here at the moment I guess, because yesterday I thought I was the only one. This was probably the reason why everyone stares at me all the time. But many people spoke to me and asked where I am from and as I said Germany they always went like "Oh Germany, football, very good" or "Ah Guten Tag". Of course everyone was really friendly and I didnt felt unconfortable. Like I said pictures will follow.




So far till now. Take Care and stuff
