My friend's father left and we made plans to do some shopping - we visited Kahn Market (no bargaining market) and milled around some finally deciding to hit another area we had scoped out called South Ex (short for south extension). There's a jewelry store there that's supposed to be nice. Again, with the enormous wedding sets, tons of guards and even more shoppers. I'd venture to guess that there were about 100 customers in this store all looking at gold. I was somewhat disappointed that I wasn't able to find what I was hoping for - I did find a lovely bangle (gosh it was pretty) for only $800-ish. Of course I could buy two, one for each wrist. Let's just say I know where it is in case I find the urge to splurge.
We hurried back to the hotel to take advantage of the cocktail hour the Taj had arranged for all of their long term stay guests - of course almost everyone there was from my company. Every time we turned around there was another guy offering us some sort of snack - then a guy filling up my wine, then more snacks. We were invited to join the group for dinner. We went to an Indian-Chinese place. Downstairs there was a bar/club which was somewhat amusing. Of course we had to check that place out after dinner. We had a good time and rolled back to the hotel around 200 am-ish. It was nice to talk to the other "SMEs" (subject matter experts) that are here in Delhi. Many of them have travelled to other places I wanted to go - Darjeeling, Goa, Bombay, Shimla, etc.
Today, I'm on my way out the door to go to the Quntub Minar with my pals and another gal that arrived last night. My camera is charged and ready to go!!
