Last day...

It's my last "full" day in India. I will be leaving tomorrow at 11PM, so I still have about 24 hours to go, but it'll be my last overnight stay here!

I needed a new bag to carry a lot of tapes back to Tokyo and we decided to go shopping in the morning!

After taking a stroll through Connaught Place and not satisfied with the high prices of brand-name bags, we went underground...


first around the Connaught Place...

and then into the Palika Bazaar...

With many stores, it's jsut easy to say we would go to another store, so they try to pull you into the store and not let go of you until you make a decision to buy! The bag I bought in the end started with a price of 750Rs and then to 600 and finally to 400. I made a face of unsatisfaction and strolled off into the front of another shop about 30 feet away. Then a boy ran towards us saying 250Rs is fine! Of course I asked for a price of 200Rs and they agreed!
I bet the bag is worth less than 100Rs, but who cares...

200Rs for this! it would be about 1000 yen at Daiei in Japan... not bad...

thanks for the bargain... but I think it's only worth less than 100Rs in reality!

We stopped by the nearby Emporium




with multiple floors! much much bigger than the one in Bangalore!

I just bought some Darjeeling Tea packed in beautiful boxes...

We were filming at the ministerial area of New Delhi...

view of the city filled with green!

We finished our filming and it was time for me to talk about Tehran... each time I hear new things, it just makes me worried about how I could go through the hardship there... Maybe I just have to work like crazy and forget about my private life!

last dinner? I chose to eat some Thai green curry rather than Indian or Chinese food which I had so much of this month and Japanese food can wait until Sunday night!
