India (part 2) New Delhi

---

Hey everyone! My trip to New Delhi was somewhat of a short one, and pretty unexciting (I didn't do too much...actually since I have been a little sick....i haven't been doing much at all...save reading, I'm going through like 3 books a week) but I will be returning, and will have plenty of time to get a better feel for Delhi. While I was there I took it easy, I was still recovering from what ever sickness I had picked up in Varanasi. Delhi was a large and busy city, but cleaner then Varanasi. I did some shopping, went to the Red Fort (see pics) and just kind of wandered around the city. One day I found a restaurant that had Air Condition (the first time I had experience AC since I was in Thailand)....what a relief.

Just as I started feeling better, one of my teeth starting giving me trouble (the same one that i had previously had a root canal). I ignored it for as long as possible but then finally decided to go to a dentist. This would be my first interaction with any sort of medical professionals in a foreign country. Although I was pretty confident in the Indian doctors/dentists. Jen had emailed me a newspaper clipping about people from all over the world flying to India to get treated because the doctors where good and the cost was a fraction of what it would be anywhere else. So long story short, I went, he couldn't really find anything wrong with my tooth, gave me some pain killers, some antibiotics and sent me on my way. It cost me $2 for the appointment, and 20 cents for the pain killers! Really cheap, it only it was like this at home!

So after a few days in Delhi I was eager to get down to Agra and check out the Taj Mahal. Next Blog!
