Delhi

Delhi is the amplification of everything that is dislikable about India - overwhelming dust, smog, rubbish-lined streets, rubbish paved housing establishments/slums, beggars and slick and over-friendly scammers. But wandering the bustling vibrant streets and markets of old delhi, tasting the incredible food in the Muslim district and exploring the feat of ancient building and architecture the city offers some grace. Still, it's difficult to really enjoy Delhi - and escaping it brings such an unbelievable sense of serenity that it possibly matches the spiritual experiences people seek out in this overtly religious land.
