I AM IN HELL (But Thank God For Leigh, According To Her).

So for all of you who know that I'm in Delhi, I would like to take the chance to tell you that if you ever, EVER have the chance to stay in Delhi, and you so happen to go online and discover that there are nice looking budget hotels on Lonely Planet, please do yourself a BIG HUGE favour, and trust only in the travellers' testimonials, and not the actual rating given by the website.

Because we should have just paid good money for a decent hotel. We've just had the most infuriating time with the hotel staff, attempting to get them to understand that when their website (it is evident to me now that they outsourced this service) says FREE WIFI, this means that it should COVER the entire building block and not just the 3rd level of the building. Subsequently depriving those of the 1st level the chance to access the Internet which they paid for.

Also, photographs are deceiving. One should plan ahead and demand to see actual photos/ pay good money for an actual hotel/ or decide to couchsurf and not be surprised by the conditions.

And Indian DVD-Rs glitch on MacBooks.

On the bright side of things we've spent the entire afternoon/evening shopping at Connaught Place, which is essentially their Orchard Road but more crowded and with lots of stalls. One good thing about this place is also that there are loads more tourists and foreigners, so one doesn't feel so out of place. Plenty of Koreans around today. Saw several Korean Buddhist nuns. Lots of ang mohs also.

On the downside? We hastily went into this Chinese restaurant called Zen (opting for that instead of the Mac's next door), and we had a hoot. The meal cost us an exorbitant price for a terribly undelicious meal of rice and meat. It was the worst restaurant to have a celebratory lunch at.

Walked around till late, had Baskin Robbins for dinner. Now we're ordering supper I suppose. It's only 9.50 pm now and we're getting room service. I'm also pissed because my MacBook has some issue with DVD-Rs. Which means the DVDs I just bought aren't working. At least most of them.

ARGH.
