Delhi chatter #1

ok....let's start story-mory about my trip to Delhi....

Firstly, mesti ada yang tanya apasal la nak pergi Delhi of all the places of the world....there's a lot of not so nice perception about India in general and if you search the web, there's zillions of travel tips/stories about India. Bear in mind that  India is a big country with a billion population, and the experience that you're going to have there is directly proportional to the place you're going to and the size of your wallet. Since I've been traveling quite melampau this year, so my trip to India was on semi-backpacker's budget (I said semi coz I didn't dare to go on a backpacker's budget in India).

Actually, lama dah teringin nak pergi India....for the travel experience ye kawan-kawan, memang sedari awal my expectation bukannya nak pergi bercuti-cuti. The first time nak pegi, niat terpaksa dibatalkan pasal kisah pengganas kat Taj Hotel itu hari.....then hari tu AirAsiaX buat promotion new route to India. I chose Delhi because from there boleh pegi Agra tengok Taj Mahal. Pegi 5 hari je sebab tak cukup cuti dan tak berani nak duduk lama-lama sebab don't really know what to expect. The best thing is, we only had to pay RM161 for our return tickets which are taxes only, coz the base ticket price is only RM0.

The second best thing is for RM161 we got the premium tickets...ni kira business class la for AirAsiaX. Ada 12 seats je.

 I traveled with my brother this time around..

comfy reclining seats

 the price of the ticket (which is RM0 in our case) includes a bottle of water, and the use of the blanket and pillow....tapi takleh bawak balikla, kalau nak bawak balik kena beli....AA kan, biasala tu..

makan pun free jugak....vegetarian briyani ni sangat, sangatla sedap...

We had a really nice 5 hours' flight. Sampai-sampai je kat Indira Gandhi International Airport yang baru, New Delhi looks promising....yelah kan, airport baru ni diorang buat sempena Sukan Komanwel yang lalu kot....cantik jerr....dengan carpet segala.

the airport was a bit quiet though 

cantik kan deco nih....this is at the immigration counters.

Dekat luar arrival hall pun, takde manusia yang bersesak-sesak or taxi touts jerit2 nak dapatkan penumpang...before I went, my friend Rush Murad who went to Delhi in January warned me how to deal with  people at the taxi counters and the taxi itself....tapi rasanya tu kat airport lama kot....we found the driver from our hotel holding a placard with my name on it and off we went with the driver to the car......

Hehehe, ini baru cerita pasal tiba di New Delhi, nak tau macam mana rupa hotel kitorang...tunggu....
