A quick update because I have no time at this random internet cafe. Delhi redeemed itself in its final hour. We were unaware we had been staying in the ghetto, but were happy to discover the city OUTSIDE our terrifying 10-block radius. I still wouldn't suggest Delhi as a tourist destination for everybody I know, but I think our rocky start - coupled with the fact that we were staying in such a messed up 'hood - made us extra hateful towards the city when it didn't necessarily deserve it.
HOWEVER, we managed to find my bag (yay) after MUCHO difficulty with the Indian airline personnel. Things just don't happen quickly here. Once we miraculously recovered it, we headed straight for the bus depot and went to Jaipur - the capital of Rajasthan.
Since our arrival, we have had *almost* nothing but positive experiences. I love India in a way I hadn't expected, and getting to know it more and more makes me like it even better. I can't recap in a quick post just everything that makes it so incredible, but maybe I'll wait to do so until I have photographic proof.
Too bad Air India broke my camera.
Anyway, I just wanted to update to say that things are going 420% better and that I am thrilled to be here. It just goes to show how much things can turn around in 24-48 hours...
Go on have fun girls you deserve it
