On the Road with Molly and Marisa
Thursday, 23 September 2004
Greetings from Delhi, India
Mood:  bright
Topic: Asia Trip
Well, we finally made it here. Here is what it took to get to Delhi -- the economical way:

Boston to Detroit -- 2 hours
Detroit to Tokyo -- 13 hours
Tokyo to Bangkok -- 7 hours
Bangkok to Delhi 4 hours

We are experiencing our first full day in Delhi. The sites, the smells, the traffic are all incredible. We are hoping to hire a driver to take us around Rajasthan beginning on Friday for a week or so. Below are some hightlights from the last few days.

-- Dumb American films shown over and over again on the flight to Japan. They must think US film is crap.

-- Sumo wrestling and edamame (only vegetarian food we could find at Tokyo airport) during our layover

-- One night in Bangkok

-- Same taxi company at Bangkok airport located at three separate stalls 100 feet from eachother, gave us the following rates to our hotel which was 10 minutes away: 350 bhat, 700 bhat, 900 bhat. Got to love it.

-- Delhi, people everwhere!

-- Eating Indian food first thing in the morning.

-- Forgetting to turn on the water heater in our bathroom one hour before we wanted to use the hose in the middle of the bathroom for our "shower"

Love to you all.

Marisa and Molly
