Back in the Belly

Since we got into India, everyone has said that Delhi is a shit city. To a certain degree we could acknowledge the arguments put forth about this.

1) You cannot see the sky at all because the pollution is that bad
2) You'll never stop getting ripped off the moment you step into the city
3) There is zero structure to the city, and the little there is under construction

All still very true, but we decided to take a different approach to the city. We're staying in a slightly more costly place (an extra $5) then we're used to and eating Western food. This means for the next day, we are taking a trip to the West. Yes, that means HBO and TGI Fridays! Not entirely, but somewhat. See, Sasha (and I mean only Sasha) was getting just a tad too sick of all this charming stuff like temples and people shitting basically everywhere. Not to sound higher than thou, but I still find it extremely funny when I see a group of men shitting in a circle, so I was alright, so I was alright. SIDENOTE: someone is watching women touch their tits next to us... he also has a shaved head with a little gay pony tail...

Anyways, we're doing something beyond absurd and something I pledged not to do even after both Sasha and Mark said it was the greatest idea ever. Tomorrow Sasha and I will take a train from the capital all the way to the most southern point of India. That means we'll be on the train for the next 50 hours. When booking this train, the guy issuing the ticket began to laugh at us and laughed even harder when I asked if it was direct. There are 41 stops. So much for "express" in "Kerala Express". That guy is still on "Sneha_hot.boobs" on youtube.... creep

It makes sense though logistically and economically, both Sasha and I rationalized. See we wanted to head south and neither one of us really had any real desire to go to Mumbai, which is the most costly area in all of India in terms of hostels - about double everywhere else. Below that is Goa, which is basically the Caribbean for European tourists and cost so much. So, instead we're going to a place that has the highest literacy rate in India (thank you Communist Party), a diverse religious population, and some of the most beautiful scenes in all of India. We're really looking forward to going there, if of course both do not kill each other and the others on the train after the 40th hour (God those last couple hours...). That wasn't a threat I swear Government of India and India Railway Commission. So, we wont be on the blog for the next while but I'm sure we'll have a lot of stories when we get there.

Love
Sasha and Pat

PS. He's looking at Brazilian women now in little to no clothing.
