Just got into India and boy I'm tired + more China pics

Hello all,

If you've taken a look at our trip map you'll notice that we're now in India. If you've bothered to read the blurb on Delhi you notice that we had some drama upon arriving. If you haven't bothered with either I'll give a quick breakdown. First, we've made it to India. Secondly, our bags didn't get to India when we did, and after about 2 hours of filling out papers and talking to people we finally got in our cab to get to our hotel. Then our cab driver rear-ended someone and unfortunately for him his pretty damaged. Fortunately for us he was still able to drive off and get us to our hotel.
Cab rides, especially in China, were hair raising events and I had learned to remove myself completely from the situation. Looking at it more like a video game, or one of those IMAX movies where you really feel like you're apart of it. That was, of course, until we actually got into an accident and then it got a little too real. Cabs are going to be a lot tougher from here on out.

Re: the bags; for a good 30 hours we didn't hear anything about there whereabouts nor could we get in touch with anyone from Thai Airlines. So we were stressing for awhile and feared the worst, but all is OK. Our 24kg bundles of necessities are back in our hands.

We stayed a couple of days in Delhi and that was enough as it's absolutley insane there. China is proving to be an excellent primer for India as we have already been fully culture shocked. But India, specifically Delhi, is an all together different story. Now we're relaxing in Tibetan Buddhist refugee colony located at the foothills of the Himilayas so all is well.


Pictures
Here are some pictures from China, specifically Xiahe and Langmusi, which includes our horse treking adventure which Gay blogged about a little while ago.

Video
Below is a video of a Buddhist Nun who befriended Gay and I. She was sitting with her friends by a river and she wanted to talk some English with us. She is pictured in the photo set above becuase she liked to have her picture taken. Most monks and nuns we've met do. So this is a short clip of her putting on her robes becuase she wanted Gay to take a picture of her in full gear.



Enjoy,
Jon
