I had a full on argument with a Tuk Tuk driver and I won! When I eventually got to my destination, the State Emporium Complex it was a bit disappointing and a bit too hard sell. There were lots of arty/crafty posters, the above was my favourite, for all you spinners out there.
For the reast of the day I used the Metro.
It was straightforward to use, no eating, no drinking, no spitting.
Deserted for most of the day, it got a bit busier at rush hour but nothing like the London Underground.
I understand why Indians walk in the road, the pavements are either dug up or just full of rubble and crap.
At last I arrived at the Central Cottage Industries Emporium, the best place in town to browse without being hassled, know exactly what you are getting and pay a fair price. This place has the best quality products I have seen in Delhi. Obviously I shopped till I dropped.
At every counter you buy at you are given a ticket, when you have finished shopping you go to a booth and pay, then over to dispatch to collect your goods, everything stamped in triplicate.
