Masala (New Delhi)

India is like a spice masala; you never know which 3 other spices it consists of but it’s always very spicy and aromatic.

Delhi is a place where we started our adventure. On the first day we were lucky to have a guide – our friend from Poland who works in the embassy. He showed us around and he taught us such important things as how to negotiate a price at a bazaar, how to take a riksha for an “Indian price”, what and where to eat and where not to.

Although we were prepared for a little culture shock we experienced it anyway. Zuza is amazed by a mix of wonderful colors, smells of delicious food, spices with poverty, homeless people on the streets, cows, monkeys, bad smells, beggars, etc. I have to tell you one thing; India is crazy! But we both love it!

Today we gonna celebrate New Years Eve in an Indian-Polish style. First shots of vodka in Polish embassy, than we will move to the center of Delhi. We wish a happy new year to the rest of the world!

Namaste

Introduction

So here we go! Andrzej and Zuza – we are like brother and sister, we used to sleep in the same cradle, now let’s see if we can survive 6 weeks together… :) Welcome to our blog about trip to India!

We are flying to New Delhi from Warsaw tomorrow. Today we opened a huge map and marked places that we want to see. So far it looks like we will spend 6 weeks in trains ;) To tell the truth the plan will be created during the trip. We just want to have fun and learn something about Indian culture.

We made this site for our friends spread all around the world. The idea is to write a few sentences and upload a few photos from time to time; nothing formal, nothing sophisticated. The Rat – our small buddy from IKEA will be keeping good vibes.

Rat-a-tat is a series of short sharp sounds, as that made by knocking on a door.
India was a dream of both of us for a long time so we are pretty exited about that trip. That might be a great experience. Join us online!
