First Post From India #3

India post
After landing in New Delhi around 7 pm and clearing customs and getting to our hotel around 9pm local time. The hotel that we stayed at was called Hotel Oscar. Once we were in the hotel it took us around 5 mins to find out how to use the lights, we had to insert our key card into the light switch in order to work the lights. 
This morning I tried chi-tea, I probably just misspelled it too, the tea reminded me of a hot chocolate with a hint of mint in it.  Tea for 4 people came out to be 100 Rupees which is approx $2 in the US.  After we had our tea we tried to get back to the hotel we got turned around on a couple side streets and jumped on a small motorbike taxi called a rickshaw.  When we visited Aumber fort today and got to ride up elephants from the base of the mountain to the base of the fort.
Traveling in India is at times quite scary.  You can look at videos and try and prepare yourself for some of the scenes you may encounter but until you are in a vehicle that is trying to cross when 50 other vehicles are trying to do the same thing in different directions words can not describe the feeling of and suspense that you feel as you just wait for someone to hit you or you hit someone else.  The driver that we have is an amazing driver he can navigate turns faster then I want to know and is an expert at weaving in and out of traffic.  I thought I was a good driver but I wouldn't make it down the street here in India. 
On another topic of interest here in India the food is excellent.  My parents thought that I wouldn't eat any of the food here and would lost like ten pounds.  I can say that that is not the case and I am very happy with all the food that I have had. The Naan is very good, and chicken curry is quite delicious.  In the next few days I will be trying some new foods to try and broaden my sampling of Indian food.
