Adventure starting in Delhi, on Jan 13th, first time in India..

Wazen · Nov 29th, 2005, 14:45

Aloha everyoe

Coming from Hawaii the plane arrives on the 13th and departs on April 20

Well its my first time in India,
and I plan on touring alone, to where ever my journey leads me, but hopefully to Nepal, Bhutan, Bangledesh, and the north eastern states..

It would be cool to have a drink or lunch with someone intersting, and cruize around Delhi.

A little about my self:
23 year old man from Wahiawa, Hawaii.
Professional Body Piercer since Highschool, until I had a recent body surfing accident which required surgery. Since then I have been devoting all my time to Physical Rehab and staying in shape, taking care of my grandmother who is living her last days, and waiting for this trip of a life time.

There are so many reasons for chosing India,
I would like to think the real reason is beyond my own will, perhaps along the lines of fate. India called out to me.

A personal reason would be to visit the homelands of Buddha, something I feel is very special.

Hopefully we can have some good laughs and good times together...
..Also I can definately bring some boxes of Hawaiian Host chocolates too

Aloha everyone

Welcome to India Wazen. There are quite a few very very nice young IMers in Delhi so you can expect some good laughs & good times together. By the way what is a host chocolate?

Wazen · Nov 29th, 2005, 15:39

Aloha Jyotirmoy

Hawaiian Host is just the brand, and they are sold everywhere here, but rarely elsewhere. Macadamia(sp?) nut canides, and caramel too.
I can eat a box in one sitting, they taste so good

And cheap too, though on the mainland I hear they pay like $8+ a box, opposed to $2 here in Hawaii... I usually stock up for christmas, a kinda personal stash hehehe

Macadamia nuts yeah I had eaten chocolate covered macadamia nuts. A relative of mine living in the US had gifted us some in the past. I did like them.

do not forget to visit Bodhgaya , the place Buddha attained enlightenment.If you were earlier in India we could meet there because from 7th of January till the 14th there is a big celebration , Kagyu Monlam in Bodhgaya and it is really spiritual , with many Rinpoches , teachings , prayers , absolutely wonderfull under the Bodhi Tree.Take Care and have a nice time

Wazen · Nov 29th, 2005, 19:02

Bodhgaya is definately on the list.
There are many other towns in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh on that list too

Just made reservations for my 9:00pm Arrival in Delhi.

1 hour away from the airport! (thats gona cost!)

Its called the Wongdhen Guesthouse, up in delhi's Majnu Ka Tilla area, a tibeten town, away from the pollution of the city.
The quote was par with the LP's estimation, at 250rs per night, private bathroom.

But with in a "70rs by rickshaw tops" into Old Delhi, so its not too bad!

The problem is, she told me only 2 nights, no more until someone cancels.
The cool thing is, it was so simple. Perhaps I will find more places to stay in this little Tibetian Delhi.

So whos going to meet up with me in Delhi?
