The first three days I was stuck at the workshop, I did not have a chance to see the city. But our Indian coworkers are so nice and friendly to us, Preetika spent the entire day with us, taking us to amazing Indian food and helping bargain on stuff.
The traffic in Los Angeles is bad, but it is nothing when compared with the traffic in Delhi.
The drivers in Delhi horned all the time, you felt that they can’t drive without horning each other. I can’t imagine if I need to live in the 24hours horning noise. I did exaggerate about 24 hours, the traffic was horrible from morning even up till midnight. We traveled from the city to back to hotel which is around the suburb of New Delhi. It took us 3 hours for just 10 miles distance.
The driver in Delhi has a wild driving style. You think left lane is the fastest lane, Indian driver totally broke the concept. We were stuck at a spot for minutes, the driver became inpatient, then he drove to the bike lane to open its private “fast” lane. And he squeezed all the bikes around to the sidewalk. But the Indian motor bikes soon found his way and surrounded our taxi again. Our driver did not step back, on the contrary, he opened up a new fast lane again, he drove to the pedestrian sidewalks and squeezed all the pedestrians away.
This trip is a wild experience.
