The first nice surprise was the how the Turkish Airlines treat their customers. Those 4 flights (bucharest-istanbul, istanbul-delhi and return) worth every cent of those 640 euro we paid.
We arrived in New Delhi's international airport in a Sunday morning, 5 am local time - 1.30 am romanian time. It was a gigantic building with endless halls, equipped with conveyors and covered entirely in carpets. At the end of each conveyor there were restrooms where a nice Indian lady would welcome you with a warm Namaste.
There were 2 old guys at the passport control who thought it funny we were from Romania and starting laughing from one another on our behave and mentioning Ceausescu...the greatest romanian of them all:))
After recovering our luggage we followed the instructions of our indian friends and went in search of a taxi. From the very first contact with an indian salesman we know that these guys will always try to take advantage of the foreigners asking ridiculous sums of money, hoping to make a fortune. They were asking 1200 rupees for a prepaid, but we know we shouldn't pay more than 600. We just took one from in front of the airport after negotiating the sum of 500 rupees as the fee of our drive.
Another surprise was that the driver didn't know the address and that there were no inscriptions on any street in that city (fact which was proven over and over again until the end of our trip). Fortunately for us the guy who was supposed to host us called and explained the driver where exactly is his house. After wandering the streets about half an hour we finally got to the right.
The guy was actually a 19 year old young man who had great care of us, showing us around, cooking and answering to all our pretty stupid questions...but about that I'll tell you more in a future post.
Love u. Take care.
