As much as tasting authentic street food appeals, its really not a wise move if your not from the country, what with whe waterbourne bugs, they can make you really ill.

And Delhi isn't all like the video, I was there in february.

Popadums sold from a litter bin




That said, I really enjoyed being out there and I have asked to do a 2 year work secondment out there... I really like the place.

Good pictures geezah. I'm planning to visit india and this does seem to paint a more acurate picture. I was talking to a colleague who backpacked india for 6months with only 1000 pounds of savings, he said that everything was very dirty around there, that the indians would start their day with washing themselves for 1 hour as a way to cope with the dirt. I wonder how you keep yourself from getting sick while eating local food?

p.s: Phil, you made a miracle with the first one and the takeaway one. Thanks
