b-day in Delhi, India

Hello folks,
So, I am celebrating my 33rd b-day in Delhi, India.
I arrived all safe and sound, just with a little bit of a funny belly I think because of just stressed about my arrival in a new place and all.
Anuradha and her friend picked me up and we drove back to here place on a 3 lane road with like 5 lanes of cars, bikes, folks etc. I slept pretty well and then relaxed on the roof top about 6am and then crashed out a bit more in the am before washing up, eating some toast and tea, waiting for the rain to pass (i think I brought it from the east coast) and then out for a little adventure about the neighborhood. So far so good. No really any strange looks, I bought myself some water with no problem and now i'm off to get some bread.
Not in to much of culture shock. The housing reminds me of israel a bit. I did only pass by one other white person so far on the street and there are many guys around not many women on the streets but I feel fine.
There are folks on the street selling food and goods, trash piles someone was digging in and a college around the corner, a guy peeing on the side of the road, a kid putting a wheel on a truck, a man sewing in a little shop, a women ironing shirts on the street.

The flow of folks walking and driving in a pretty amazing rhythm that it flows all together, you just have to be careful as anuradha said its not like the states where the cars will wait for you. Here you have to watch for the cars.

I'm looking forward to how the afternoon unfolds and what will be for lunch.

much peace to everyone.
