My tenth day in New Delhi already -- the days went by so fast. The Air India flight from Frankfurt took only a little more than seven hours. We directly went for the airport taxi services suggested by our host, either Meru, Mega or Easycab -- they were right outside airport. We were told that it should not cost more than 500 to Delhi center, in our case, Haus Khaz. We asked Meru first and were sent to a taxi who wanted to charge us 2500! Moving to the Mega cab company, our driver put on the meter. We could hardly understand each other and we were just saying IIT. He stopped several times to ask but finally we got there with the meter only at 400.
After freshening up a bit, we were picked by our host for lunch at Naivedyem in Haus Khas village specialized in South Indian food. Had the Mixed Thali which was so good but much more than I could finish! It had a dosai, crepe-like bread in a cone shape, some Idlis, or white oblong rice cake(reminds me of a snack we call page in the Philippines) and liitle plates of different types of curries, chutneys, rice and one sweet dish. I had a lassi together with it. We went around the village and driving to and from the place was our first experience of Delhi traffic. Wow, was it something.
