These yoofs were very good at break dancing. Is it still called break dancing? I can't help but think in the UK they would be issued with an ASBO. Or segregated to some padded play park which would then get closed due to Local Authority cuts.

India, like many other places, is very inter-generational. Old people hang around with young people. I like this and miss it when I come home.

Again, all the old trades are still alive here.

I am thinking of having two life size statues of me made up to adorn the front door of where ever I end up living next. Good idea?

Fairly typical Delhi street scene. Carnage.

Proof, if proof be needs be, that I have lost weight. I was 68kg when I arrived in Turkey.

Pimp my Skoda. Second thoughts don't bother.

I think this is the look he was trying to emulate. I am so happy BMW are finally making cars that I realy want again. Post Bangle (the old design chief) they are back to making handsome and desirable automobiles again.

Who says that there is no such thing as free lunch? There is here. I ask why folk were getting a free lunch. I was told it was because of God.

But once again, beauty in the rough. Same with Benz. I really want an S Class. I would sell a body part if needs be.

They love long job titles here. More so than in silly places in the UK. And you just know that down the road there will the "Office of the Assistant to the Chief Commercial Manager Passenger & Marketing"

Old Delhi train station. Karl Pilkington was right, it IS like Primark on sale day.

I just realised that I haven't taken any decent toilet pictures on this trip so here you go. A treat.

I never tire of riding the trains in India. Always offers of food and friendship. This is breakfast (curry) and these are squaddies heading to the Pakistan border to defend it.

IMG_1430

The squaddie chaps were in a handball team and very tall. I am short. So I thought a team photo would be amusing.

Always a pray to Allah to protect before a long journey. And thanks to Allah after a long journey. Lots of thanking Allah.

You may remember this cheeky face from a few previous blogs. Zane met me again but this time with his Mother who had flown out to meet him on his year long adventure. I was lovely to see both of them.

The joy of spending time in a place is that you get to observe daily life.

IMG_1450

These chaps play badminton every evening. I have joined them for a bit of a game.

IMG_1452

This is Chutara one of the drivers chillin to my tunes. I am trying to convince the chaps of the merit of Hip Hop music.

IMG_1453

This is Sirae with a Mustache I am working hard to emulate.
