A look back at the pictures I posted earlier...
I went around the city in the green and yellow autorickshaws. They are completely open, which is nice around 10pm when there is no traffic and you can feel the air on your face. Otherwise it means you are always close enough to hold hands with the truck driver next to you and to breath in the exhaust fumes. I also go to go on Tony's bike. Mostly that was a good experience, except for the time we ran out of petrol. I thought he was kidding when he said that, but sure enough, the engine put put putted its way to a stop. It was pleasant at 12.30am so we walked a mile or so to the nearest petrol station and went on our way again. When Zoe and I were finally both feeling well, we woke up early enough to make the trek (haha) to North Delhi. It took about an hour by autorickshaw and then by metro (surprisingly clean and quiet). It turns out everything, including the Red Fort, is closed on Mondays, so we didn't get to go inside, so instead we went to Connaught Place and to some shopping areas there. For the first time I saw a touristy part of the Delhi rather than the one where people simply live. This mostly meant that every place I passed in the shopping area would say "excuse me madam please." No jewelery or clothes shopping so far since I don't really do that anyway, but I did finally buy a couple of books to read yesterday (Kite Runner and an Orhan Pamuk--none of this milly-tilly nonsense).
