Getting better at this whole travel thing.

So it's Thursday morning here and I just bought a fake watch for 4 dollars. I realized I should get one since I'm going to be actually travelling now that I've had enough of Delhi. I'm still there now but I'm leaving this afternoon to go to the Taj Mahal in Agra. The train should take about 3 hours but I'll figure on 5 because not much is on time here. I haven't gotten sick yet but I also haven't ate much either, I just haven't had the appetite. Yesterday I travelled Delhi and went to the important sites. Red Fort, Humanyun's Tomb and a couple others. Getting to the places was fun, I took an autorickshaw the whole day, same driver. He stayed with me from about 9:30 until 5:30 when I decided I should go rest. He waited for me at the different sites and told me where to go. At the entrance to the Red Fort he made sure to tell me not to talk to anyone, just keep walking. This is because it's all scams and everybody's selling something. It can get really frustrating but it's part of the culture. The Red Fort is exactly what it sounds like, it's massive. The walls stretch for 2km and are as high as 33 metres. While I was at Humanyun's tomb I met Seth who lives in Delhi for work but is actually from Pittsburgh. We hung out for a bit and ended up going to a restaurant together. It was nice having someone to chat with.

My sleep schedule has been really bad, I only sleep about 4 or 5 hours at a time which is not great but I haven't been too tired except for yesterday after being in the sun for 7 hours. The weather has been great here, around 30 degrees but it's actually not that humid.

Another annoyance is all the scams here. Pretty much everything is a scam, people will just come up to you on the street and start asking everything about you. They want you to come to their tourism office so they can make money, like a commission. This happens quite a bit but I haven't followed those people. On street they really presure you but if you explain you don't want anything to do them they usually leave you alone right away. They are very polite when you tell them your not interested.

So I've acutally spent enough time in Delhi, for me anyway. It's very fast paced and there isn't that much to see. There are some malls and market I could go to but I'll probably to that when come back.

Well I've got a couple more hours to kill before my train leaves so I'm going to go to Lahore gate and then get some pizza. Side note: while talking to Seth he mentioned that KFC is a huge thing over here and the Mcdonalds is almost out of buisness.
