First impressions of India? Just as everyone always describes. Bustling, chaotic, colourful and a mish mash of oldworld and newworld contrasts and contradictions. The people are lovely and personable. Especially the old couple dressed in traditional indian garb smiling at me from the back of a colourfully hand painted truck; the message "Please Honk" elaborately emblazoned across the back. Honking is just common courtesy here.
For a more detailed picture, read Shantaram. Gregory David Roberts is more poetic than I could ever hope to be.
After two hours here, I've seen two live goats along the side of the (main) road by the airport. So far, no Mango Chicken.
