Today I ventured out to a different Pearson office in South Delhi. It is about an hour drive from Noida. This was more of what I was expecting to see. It looked like the office and furnishings were from the 70’s and 80’s. It was not nearly as nice as the Noida building.
On the way back we stopped at a fish market, the last thing I ever thought I would see in Delhi. It was a small area packed in with about 10 different fish vendors. The flies were buzzing. As you can see on the pic, those black spots are flies. You could tell the fresher fish from the non fresh as the flies were on the non fresh fish and buzzing the fresher fish. The neat part was the way they chopped up the fish. It looked like a curved sword and they would scale it and cut it on the knife. The guy I went with bought carp. I walked around but did not see anything that looked too unusual. There were a couple slimy looking bulldog type fish that were still alive in buckets. One got out and was wiggling accross the floor. I was told it has a poisonous spike on it somewhere.
A little past the fish market was the Baha’I Temple, otherwise know as the Lotus Temple. It was built about 15 years ago and resembles the Sydney Opera House. It is number 11 on the things not to miss from my Rough Guide book. I did not go inside but snapped a few pictures from the sidewalk.
