Snow!

When i woke up this morning (and i nearly overslept, one guy from my company is going back to delhi today, so we had a little going away party last night) and got down to the breakfast hall, i noticed it was snowing outside. All the roads and roofs in Shimla were white, and no cars were driving at all. After waiting (in vain) for our car for an hour, i decided to go back to my room and study.

Then half an hour later, the hotel desk phoned up to say there was a cab coming to pick me up, as the main roads had been cleared. The taxi ride over was pretty cool, im getting used to being driven round tight bends at insane speeds, and the snow today made it all the more exciting. The driver we had today is pretty good and he drove one of the best cars around here (a hyundai santro, which is roughly the equivalent of a hyundai atos, and great compared to all the small suzuki altos everyone around here drives), so that was quite a nice experience.

Ill try to take some pictures of shimla covered in snow, i already have a few of a snowman sitting on a bench. Some other dutch guys built it this morning, and all the indian people walking by were just amazed, i guess they arent used to just playing around when it snows.

Im gonna go and study a bit now, even though my teacher isnt here (he is stuck up in the hills in this tiny hotel on a mountain road, which obviously isnt important enough to be cleaned), so see you guys!

(by the way, everyone hoping for pictures of the taj mahal (yes you geert) i dont think ill get to that. as you might know the taj mahal is located in agra, which is quite away from delhi, and im not even sure how many time ill hae in delhi to begin with)

Hé Victor,
Mooi he, hoe de wereld verandert met een beetje van dat witte goedje er over heen. Overigens hoop ik wel dat je Hyundai-stuntman jouw veiligheid voorrang geeft!
Geniet er van!
