Help to travel in India

 

The purpose is not to make you dream by images of postcards but to try to share about certain feelings as well as about some warnings.

I always travel with the guide du Routard. It is your best friend when you are far from your home. Impossible to learn, then do not hesitate to underline so that to fold the pages which detain the information which you more need.
Not being very silvery needing a real space of freedom, the backpack is an obvious fact. The choice of hotels is managed by the budget no more than 10 € / night.
Everything is slow in India, try to be patient and haggle every time you want to move in rickshaw, otherwise you will always pay the full price. Do not forget that you go to a developing country. Consequently the poverty is not the same in all countries. Because you are white you are rich, and I regret (for them) to agree with them.

Arrived at Dehli at the same time as the sun. I made a mistake about exit, I thus waited for a taxi which would never have come, in the peace, by listening to birds. Exceptional fact for this city which never sleeps.
Rickshaw ( green and yellow taxis) prefer the prepaid at the airport, you will so have an idea of the price of a running to have a walk afterward … Because you have time, know that it will be tested severely.

The rickshaw takes me to the address that I indicated to him, I have difficulty in inhaling, the pollution is dense. The vehicle borrows an alley, it drives so fast as the men who surround us walked. And there I panic, I say myself that his buddies wait for me to steal my passport, rape( me and kill me then … The driver vas just looked for the hotel lol.
Later 10mn of palaver to convince him not to enter with me to avoid paying his a commission on the total amount of my stay, the guard announces me that a room will be ready before one hour.

Having vomits in common toilet in Turk and without flush, I lying down on white sheets (that it is necessary to verify before accepting the room), a ventilator over the bed near to fall down risk maybe to behead me in every shock. The faecal smells are anchored in my nostrils, I eventually collapse of fatigue.
Welcome in the reality.

Awakening three hours later, the anxiety always presents. I take out of this furnace that became the room. At the end of a few minutes a Dutch young woman approaches me then suggests me being guided to find the train station.
The journey begins.
