Delhi. What an amazing city: Vibrant and full of enticing smells and sounds. Tasty street food in all shapes and sizes with chai tea around every corner and a great place for some souvenir shopping.
Before arriving I heard about all the marvellous things to experience in Delhi, but there is one thing that people seem to underemphasize: the Delhi tax.
You see, Delhi provides all these wonderful sights, sounds and tastes at a cost. It demands payment in one way or another. If you do not spend all your money or time there, then it will take what it can in body weight (known as Delhi belly).
Unaware of Delhi’s relentless demanding of its tax, I was unprepared when it came knocking one night. 2 days of fighting the inevitable I eventually gave in and handed over my 3kg in body weight. The tax must be paid...
