New Delhi!

Well, after a relatively smooth, empty plane ride where I was able to stretch out over two seats to myself, and even get some sleep, I have arrived in this tremendous, smoggy city! Kamal from CS came to the airport to get me, and we took an hour and a half cab ride through the craziest streets I've ever experienced, to this apartment in the north part of the city that his friend and him have for couchsurfers. Its a beatiful, dirty old apartment with stone floors and only occasional running water and a toilet the won't flush so you have to dump water from a bucket into it. Another couchsurfer was there when we arrived, a Aussie Sri Lankan girl named Natasha, who i hit it off with right away. Within ten minutes we had decided to go to Rishikesh together the next day. So after an evening of chatting and drinking indian beer with Kamal and his friend Santa (yeah yeah, I know) me and Natasha crashed on blankets on the floor. So here we are, our first real day in india- we made it to an internet cafe and we are about to go get tickets and try to get to Rishikesh today with my friend Paula. So now you guys know, i have arrived, i am alive, and i'm about to go have some hella adventures!
