पहला दिन वाराणसी में - First day in Varanasi

Everyone told me I would get a shock when I came to India, and that I could not prepare in any way. How true was that!

Just on the shuttle bus ride from the international to the domestic terminal at the airport in Delhi I went from horror, shock and amusement around 50 times. There are literally people absolutely everywhere, on places I as a Norwegian don't expect to see people, like on top of roof cars, strolling by and in the motor ways, moving scaffolds inside tunnels in the middle of traffic etc. And then of course there are the dogs, cows, goats and monkeys, all over the place. The smells reflect this, but I think one gets used to it quickly.
