Help. I Think I'm a Rockstar.

Musings of a former rockstar-in-the-making who sold out to The Man and now collects regular paychecks in corporate America and gets to eat more frequently. Views on music, travel, culture, relaxation, politics, toys, and other general bullshit.



Heading East....WAY East...
Sunday, March 4, 2007



Well, I'll skip the detailed "ketchup" session, except to say that I've been uber busy with work and traveling quite a bit. It's actually getting even crazier. As the title of this post and the above picture suggest, I'm going to Delhi, India in two weeks. I'm a little freaked out be the enormity of that statement, but super crazy excited as well.



So, it'll probably be a three hour flight from Memphis to New York, followed by a 7.5 hour flight to Amsterdam and an 8 hour flight from Amsterdam to Dehli. Upon arrival in Delhi, I'll attempt to find my driver in a crowd of 9 zillion people. After that, I have no idea what to expect



I do know, however that I get the privilege of a million immunizations beginning tomorrow. Gotta make sure I don't get malaria, hepatitis A or B, yellow fever, dengue, tetanus, leperosy, or any other nasty bringer of death. And my company has filed for a one-year, multiple entry work visa for me. It looks like this won't be the last trip I take.



For anyone who's unfamiliar, Delhi is the capital of India. The city lies in the northern part of the nation, a few hundred miles between Pakistan and China. Its home to the Taj Mahal, Indian government and political media, and so much more than I know about yet. I'll post more about the preparations over the next two weeks, and of course a plethora of pictures and notes when I'm actually there. I'm psyched. Wish me luck.

FYI... Taj Mahal is in Agra(and Agra is some other state) and not a part of Indian capital "Delhi". Its like telling that " White House" is part of New Jersey.

Um yeah thanks, whoever this is :-) Now that I've been there I've learned that the Taj is just outside of Agra, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, which is more commonly known as "UP". It's also about a four hour drive from Delhi on the national highway, and is near some of the most amazing sites India has to offer.

But thanks for the FYI.
