2nd destination – Sarojini Nagar

We planned that this day was a shopping day because I promise to help Clay to buy 1kg jewelry for his sister and girlfriend. So, we leave Karol house, which is far away from the city, at 11am. From yesterday experience, we spent 3 hours to go to the central city. Therefore, we decided to use another way to go to central city. By looking at the map, we found that train might be a good idea.

First, we had to go to train station. How can we go to train station? The area we lived, Gurgoan, is an area restrict AUTOrishaw enter. From the map the train station is pretty near, therefore we took the bicycle “AUTO”, which I only saw in Delhi. It is a small and slow transport. You can’t imagine two HUGE Australian guys and me sit in the super small three wheelers bicycle for one hour to the train station.

feel pity to the driver.. so heavy

We though finally we arrived train station. However, we could not communication with the ticket counter because they can’t speak English. Luckily, we were assisted by one of the stuff there. He told us the express train which would go to Delhi was coming soon. However, when the train arrived we can’t even go into the train because there are too many people. So we decided to wait for another train.

But suddenly we realized we might have to wait one more hour! Oh god! Anyway, we didn’t have another choice just enjoyed it. The next train finally came after one hour. We were sure this was not an express train because it was very slow and the idiot driver kept horning all the way!! It was loud!! I think we stuck in the train about 2 hours. However, when we got to the last stop, it was not the stop we want to go.

After that, we took the auto to New Delhi. It was just half of our journey but we spent about 5 hours! At the end, I could not remember how we get to the market.

After this experience, conclusion is Delhi is really BIG!

Anyway, sarojini nagar is a local market which you can buy the cheap Indian stuff. This is the best place for shopping in India. After the good shopping, I forget about the painful train experience.
