january 2nd -Old Delhi

We started this day off on a local bus. i wasn't quite sure this is what was actually happening as we seemed to be just standing on the side of the road when suddenly a bus mounted to pavement infront of us and we were herded on.
apparently it was headed for old delhi, we crammed on and anand went straight to the back to pay the old man shouting at everyone from the back seat. who it turns out was the ticket/money collecter.
old delhi, if it is at all possible, is a little more chaotic than new delhi, maybe because the buildings are closer together. they had amazing bazaars, shop after shop of pretty much anything you need for indian weddings, spices, fixing anything. unfortunately the fog was so bad that the red fort which was only 50 metres away was not visible. we were left to our own for the afternoon, but most of us stayed together to brave the bazaars in newdelhi and buy clothes most of us probably won't wear at home. (thats my guess anyway)
