The last of India and the Beginning of Vietnam

After Jaipur, we travelled back to Delhi by train. After arriving in Delhi, I went to bed. The next morning, I took the amazingly, clear metro over to one of the stations to meet up with a friend from Simcoe. It was good to see a familiar face. We went out for lunch and then she took me back to her place for an hour or so. Then I walked around and saw some of the local shopping area and met another people that had lived in Canada and his family. We experienced a single, poor mother and her baby living on the street. However I found out that she does this every day from one of the local people. At 12:45 am the next day I left Delhi behind with a lot of nightmare problems at the airport. That I will not mention on this website. Let's just say I am so happy to be out of there. I flew from Delhi to Bancock and had an 11 hour stay in the airport. From there I flew to Hanoi, Vietnam. On Tuesday, November 18, 2008, we had a walking tour to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum which is the place where the president that freed the country for various other countries ruling it. It was a site to see. Everything is very regulated, for example you must walk in single file and be extremely quite and respectful.
