india day two

ہیلو!

Ah, what a day! Today I thought I could give you some information about the city I'm in before I start telling you what I've done. New Dehli is, as you propably know, the capital city of India. Most of the population, thus 80%, are hindus. 12% are muslims, and the others are something else. It's a whole lot of main languages, 18 to be precicely. But fortunately one of them is English, so I'm doing okay. Instead of using pounds, kroner and so on - they use something called rupi. A houndred rupi are nearly the same as fifteen Norwegian kroner. Otherwise I've got the expression that this is a relatively safe city, it's apparently not much violence. Thieves and frauds are quite usual though, so watch your handbag!

Today I visited the Humayun's Tomb, wich were incredible. It is a great building, and a symbol of Persian architecture and Indian traditions. Several rulers of the city are buried there. It was 250 rupies per head, which is not much. I really recommend this attraction if you are visiting New Delhi, just saying.
