The Adventure Begins: Welcome to India

The Adventure Begins: Welcome to India

Never in my life have I experienced such a drastic change in scenery as the day I flew from Dubai to New Delhi. Just hours ago I stood in front of the Burj Khalifa watching a mesmerizing water show that puts the Bellagio in Las Vegas to shame and wondered what India would be like. I was in a brand-new city of the future full of all the glitz and glamor that only absurd amounts of oil money can buy, and within 24 hours I would be in one of the most overcrowded, congested cities of the world. Up until this point, I feel my entire trip through Europe and the Middle East has simply preparation for this leg of my trip - India is where I would finally my traveling skills to the test. As I boarded my flight there was a mild feeling of anxiety when I realized I was the only white guy on the entire plane.Never in my life have I experienced such a drastic change in scenery as the day I flew from Dubai to New Delhi.
