[India] Landing in New Delhi

Location: New Delhi, India [at Senpai's home]

50 hours since I last slept. I'd like to say that for a person who has severe sleeping habit issues, atw(.5) potentially stimulate two different results. First, his sleeping pattern gets even more messed up that he is able to sleep. Second, it gets worse. I'm the latter. and this makes sense because in order for my sleeping patter to get so messed up that it somehow solves itself, there lies a precondition that I can sleep on airplanes. and based on 20 years of experience, I can't.

Thus the 50 hours of non-sleeping. Actually I may have slept for about 1-1.5 hours on the plane..
I don't remember, but for sure I have to get used to this.

Plane Ride: Sunny and Boss
The first flight was with Japan Airlines (JAL). About a 4 hour flight to Guangzou, then another 5 to New Delhi. Luckily the first flight wasn't full so I had an open seat next to me. I finished my book called "Palestine Conflict" (Japanese). Very interesting...mostly about the historical relationship between the Jewish, Muslim, and Christians starting from days of Adam and Eve. Anyway, they served lunch on the plane. I latter find out that JAL meals are fancy and not filling. (The cup is miso soup, not alcohol).

Wine- the first wine I had after leaving Japan. It was called "Bouxe", made in France. Didn't go too well with the miso soup.

At Guangzou Airport, I had a 3 hour waiting time. So I started my second book, called "Shuukatsu no Bakayarou", or "Stupid Job Hunting..." in English. I grabbed it from bookoff because I've heard of it and it was on the 105 yen shelf. On the flight I talked to the two guys next to me. Sunny and his boss. Sunny is 26, and the boss is..a man. Old man. They were really nice and told me ALL the places to go the BEST food in town. Exactly the information I was planning to gather on the streets. They told me contact them in Delhi and they'll take me to the best restaurant in town. I'm not sure if I'll still be in Delhi then.. Sunny bought a 2-liter Bacardi from duty-free, so they were drinking it on the plane (of course they hid the bacardi). Since drinks were free, they also got 4 beers together. They asked me what I wanted. "Wine, bitch"

China airlines

Curry. The beer is Sunny's (cus he ordered 2 for himself)

My friend? Mukes

By the time I landed in New Delhi it was around 10pm. I quickly grabbed a taxi and headed over to a senpai's house. The ride was about 40 min long and 35 US Dollar. Not bad.. but I guess it was really hard for the driver, Mukes, to find the house, so he had to stop and ask different people on the street for direction. Feeling bad, I gave him 5 dollars extra. After that, he kept calling me "Japanese friend" and that I was "perfect". If I didn't know that I'm perfect already, I would of probably tipped him again. 

Anyway, so I was lucky to have a nice guy. I've heard stories of sketchy drivers who would take the longest route possible and charge you double the price. Sukriya, Mukes.

Senpai

 Luckily I had a place to crash for the first night. He's a senpai I've known through soccer and kendo, and he's been in New Delhi for his job since about 4 months ago. Its most definitely the most luxurious stay I'll experience throughout the entire trip. Thank you senpai. Sukriya!
