The last two days: random stuff

What I most love about Indian trains must definitely be the fact that I can release my stomach gas without any social embarrassment whatsoever. It is because a) everything smells shit anyways, b) everyone else does it and c) everybody are so used to bad smells they probably cannot tell it apart from other bad smells. My train from Gaya to Delhi took 18 hours, so only 3 hours late this time. I had the misfortune of sharing my sleeping planque with another guy. For some reason it was doublebooked. We were mostly communicating to each other with our gases, if anything. I did speak with my mouth to some engineer guy, and the family kids sitting next to me were all excited when I showed them my touchschreen Nokia and let them play some game there . I also met these two Lithuanese guys, who were on their way to Delhi. We spent the waiting time in Gaya together, exchanging information about our respective countries, but mostly we talked about how we want to get back home, since India is… different, and not always so good for us. When we reached Delhi, the boys continued their journey to Agra, meanwhile I found a lodging for meself – hotel Spot.

Now I’m back in Delhi, and I think I will spend a lot of money (the rest of it) on food, and I thought I would also see the Humayun’s tomb, which I missed last time. Also I would try to do some small shopping and do the worse thing I could imagine doing: taste McSpicy in McDonalds (OMG). We’ll see.

UPDATE:

The McSpicy was a little bit disappointing, although it was a new kind of thing to go for, for me. I was just astounded how expensive it was (McSpicy meal was 139 + 20% of 139, which totals in something like a bit under 3 euros), and still how many Indian youth could afford it as it was filled with Indian teens thinking this is the real living, the western style. Hopefully, we in western world start to realize how eating at McDonalds might not be the culmination of our progress as a society.

Oh well. I had some weird stomach pain (unlike anything I’ve had here) last night. I was really in pain for at least 30 minutes, but now in the morning it seems to have settled. Today I’ll just do last buying thingies, eat well and surf the Internet. Then, in the nighttime I will reach my final destination in India. Indira Gandhi International airport. Catch you la’ers!
