Delhi
Back in Delhi. Did some speaking and pressing of flesh today.
One observation, Americans who visit India are ill prepared in one main way when they first get here. When you are heading towards someone on the sidewalk, you and they are supposed to break to the left to avoid each other. It's because the traffic moves the other direction on the roads here. So, many Americans walk right into members of the local population with a flurry of "Excuse me!" when all we have to do is invert our rules of walking. But that takes some time.
Small observation.
