20 May 07 -- Delhi Redoux

Yuk! I forgot how bad the coffee is here!

Woke up this morning to the discovery that my room is separated from the one beside mine by a simple, thin door, and I can hear the old guy in there shuffling around. He’s fond of Indian music, and he has his TV tuned to some traditional music channel that has typical, singsong Indian music playing 24/7. As if that’s not enough, he sings along, in a very passable falsetto, with the super-high-pitched voice of the singer, sometimes even doing counterpoint and sometimes just hitting the high note accents with the singer. He has a pretty good voice, but I think I’m going to have to change rooms.

Otherwise, this was a pretty relaxing day. I just ambled around and went into shops when I got hot or thirsty. Looked at movie times and offerings, stopped into a couple of cafes, found a few bookstores I want to try to get into when they’re open. Low key, relaxing day which I think I needed after the last week.
