INDIA TRIP

[XK120]

Alright guys and gals I am sitting in a lounge at the Austrian airport as we speak...I just got off the 8 hour plane ride from DC and decided to upload my pics so far to flickr. I won't really be able to post them all here because I am lazy, but please feel free to follow this link (http://www.flickr.com/photos/crm114/sets/72157602393576204/) and comment on my photos. In a few hours I will get on another plane and finally make it to India. :dance:

Just went threw your photos on flicker... how do you like that ipod? I'm thinking of getting one. And what kind of watch are you wearing?

Looking good as always Alex. You're pretty lucky. I hope to do the same trip sometime in my life.

Haha thanks Dan...the watch is a Breitling Chonomat Evolution and the iPod is in fact my iPhone and I love it...there are still lots of things that I would change/wished were different, but my laptop is running low on battery power and I don't have an Austrian adaptor!
This watch just with either a black rubber/or black alligator band.

ya i admit that I've been pretty lucky in life, but hopefully I'll be able to take full advantage of these blessings and turn them into something good

Alright I'm finally here...got to Austria, plane to India had problems, so we flew backwards to London then 10 hours later got onto an Air India plane to Delhi...we got to Delhi fine (save for some crazy turbulance) but lost our bags

>_< Holy shit... First off.... it seems like each flight is WAAAY shorter than I'd expect... considering it's just like 6-7 hours from New York to London. Australia and India seem so much further away. @_@ Maybe I just havn't traveled enough. ^^;;

But good to hear you finally got there, good luck finding your bags. :(

Damn, that's pretty messed up with all the flights and stuff.

But hope you have fun, a friend of a friend went to India to teach, but she broke her arm and had to come home. :(
She enjoyed her stay while there though!

Words cannot describe this place you guys...it is just unbelieveable that a place like India actually exists on this planet. I've uploaded some more pictures to the link in my first post, but the internet here keeps kicking me off and I haven't been able to upload very many at all. I took over 700 in under one hour yesterday during a rickshaw ride through Old Delhi. Old Delhi is the most densly populated place on the planet as the infrastructure/housing was only meant to hold 60,000 people....today well over 2 million call it home. Here are just a few pics.

The camera you use takes some really nice pictures!

Jew-Town Road made me lol at work for some reason. The ones with all the wires just... everywhere. That's freakin' crazy!

[Judau]

The cable repair men over there are nuts! ^^;; If a phone line goes or something, they probably just cut the cable and throw another one up.

[turbo_turtle]

Great pics Alex... keep them coming!

I'm home finally after tons of plane rides...more pics to come after I get back into the CT groove

One approach has been to train bands of larger, more ferocious langur monkeys to go after the smaller groups of Rhesus macaques.

that just doesn't sound like a good idea
