Still Day 1 in Old Delhi


We're not out of Old Delhi yet. Heading back to the Chawari Bazaar Metro we walked in Lalkuan Bazaar road. This is where pots, pans, paint and raw metal beams were manufactured and sold. Merchants were walking along with paint all over themselves.... and looking a bit loopy. Naturally someone would put all of this metalwork to good use. Kid-rides, small man-powered ferris wheels, were on the side of the road. School kids, that looked fresh out of class, were on the rides.

The rides were not the only attraction. The kids were starting to follow us... saying "hello" trying to say some limited amount of English. They then started pestering us to take their pictures - especially from Joshua. Kids everywhere were attracted to him.
This is when
I started to notice that just as many people were taking pictures of us as we were of them..... I can imagine that they probably didn't want pictures taken of their lifestyles. But we're really not interested in them, just the way they live. When we were in Singapore, or even Budapest, there were a lot of interesting things to take pictures of - but they were mostly relics, old buildings, your family in parks. In Delhi, I took over 700 pictures. Anywhere you look you see something fascinating and unique. And it's still our first day in Delhi.
