I love Bollywood. I just watched the best fake punch ever, the victim flew 10 feet in the air. Anyway, I road in an autorickshaw for the first time yesterday. It's basically a very small car with no sides and only one seat in the front. I think Achim, an IES director from Germany, describes it the best. Riding in an auto here is like being in a video game...you cut every corner, sometimes scratching other vehicles, and weave in and out of buses, car, motorcycles, and almost running over bicycles continuously...the only difference is there is no reset button. It's quite fun though after the initial shock of thinking you may die. We this these autos to go to the Conaught Place, fairly touristy shopping market, so we all got to try out haggling. Later we went to the local Thursday night market. Geeta ji, one of our coordinators, said she heard someone on the phone there saying "You wouldn't believe it...there are so many foreigners." So we got a good laugh out of that. The market was very crowded and fitted in between buildings with a vehicle working its way through the crowd here and there. On one of the side streets of the market there is a huge old building that looked castle-like to me; Delhi is truly a place where centuries of time coexist. Tonight I'm scheduled to move in with my host family and I am SO excited!!
