DAY 83

So we went to Noida today. Technically that should be NOIDA because it's an acronym for New Okhla Industrial Development Area, but everyone calls it Noida and it's become a word in its own right. It's on the outskirts of Delhi, on the other side of the Yamuna River. It's a pretty weird place. On the one hand, there's quite a lot of green scrubland, and everything is quite far apart, connected by well maintained roads. But there is a huge amount of construction: check out the buildings under construction in the photo. What are they for? Who is going to use them? They seem so out of place. And then there are the cows as you can see here, and if you look carefully a whole herd of water buffalo walking down the central green bit. We did buy a very nice sideboard though from a big furniture warehouse. Will post a photo when it's delivered.
