India arrival

Hey everybody,
Uli and I have arrived...... barely! Well what an intro to Delhi for Uli! My flight was delayed coming from Sydney and then we missed the connection in Singapore... and then it all began!
When i didnt arrive for 3 hours later Uli reacted and decided to go out and find the Hospital! Oops big mistake.... her taxi driver didnt even know where to go!! But when i finally arrived i found my pick up person we called Uli and found her, Yahooooo! Then i was taken to the hospital at 6am and i tell you what an Eye opener! Cows in the middle of the road, dogs in streets, and in the way on the road and people driving the wrong way on the same side! Yikes! The pollution as we drove away from the airport was terrible, it was like a dust storm... the roads were like a bunch of holes put together.... people sleeping in the streets on wooden racks on the side of the road.... I even saw a guy sleeping on his motorbike parked on the side of the road!! CRazy crazy! Uli even saw people across the street in a hut where they polish cars, living there and bathing half naked, nice hey! Its so polluted here with garbage everywhere and broken down vehilces left where they broke down.
The ultimate arrival to India... when i was at the customs desk, as i handed my passport over, a Cockroach passed by!! WELCOME TO INDIA!
But we survived and now we are settling into our new home :) Look for more news as we get over jetlag and begin our therapy program tomorrow.
Kev and Uli
