Delhi is hectic, people and things crowding out the streets. Some ppl are overly helpful, some are out to get you (maybe because Im short, I blame many things on my shortness). One day since arriving in Delhi, hotel where im staying denies my reimbursement for prepaid taxi which was promised to me (ripoff). The taxi I hired for taking me places, took me to his commissioned restaurant, and tried to get me to buy garments which don't have needs for (I know all this from watching BBC scam cities). I didn't even tell you the first scam the moment I landed. Here it is, I was at the airport trying to get to a phone in order to call my hotel, I spotted these red phones lining up, so I thought to myself "yay!". I quickly went over and after queries of how such thing work. I was ready, 1 minute 6 rupees, cool. However, to my surprise the next guy came and ask how much per minute and I heard the word "panch" which means 5 in hindi. I then ask him how come, he gave some bs about differences between landline and mobile number. Ok, no problem, 6 rup ain't bad. I then showed him my hotel number, he dialed but not before turning his name tag to the back and b4 I even noticed his name. Cool, I don't need to know his name. Bring... phones is ringing, wrong number after 3 minutes of what where who how. I looked at him hoping hed forget the charge and redial the correct number to help me out. Nope, he didn't, instead "pay up!" I paid then walked away. I then asked a hot Indian girl fiddling with her ipho near luggage belt, only to realize shes has no local sim, Im an idiot. Anyway, beware of scams if you plan on coming to India or travelling outside your cool corner of the pond bc you can get burn, its not much compare to what we pay back home, but it's just annoying.
If anyone think Im being unfair, hit me up. Even after all the things I mentioned above, I still think Delhi is a good city to come to.
