Delhi
Supposed to be the most energetically draining city in India, but after Varanasi it wasn't too bad. We knew most of the tricks people use to make money, and scam you so we escaped a lot of the hassle. They try to get you to their shops where they make you buy stuff, or bring you to private places where they sell you double the price for bus and train tickets. Anyway, Delhi has plenty of rich, some middle class, and WAYY too many poor. On one street there are beggars, people with no food, shelter or clean water. Then walk one street down and you have: BMW dealership, McDonalds, KFC, shopping malls that I can't afford to go into. Its quite sad really, that anywhere you go, if the money was distributed throughout the country, there would be no poverty, and hopefully greed would go away. However, we always say no to beggars, we do give to organized charities, and try to buy at local stores that support the community. We said no to a couple of people begging for money and after they understand they aren't getting anything from you, they spit at you and say mean things, one time we even got called Bastards! It is quite the rat race here, and well everywhere in the world, a race for money, yet no one is happy. I believe we still have time to make this world a great positive place to live in. Money isn't life, yet we need it to survive.
Well, onto a train again to a spiritual place called Rishikesh, to help us with meditation and yoga and the calming down of this tiresome place some people call home!!
