To day was our last day i India. its been a blast being here, and we will miss it. Because it was our last day we did something special today. We went to explore how the living conditions are in the slum of New Dehli. When we came there we smelled a stank of trash and feces. When people think of the slum they think of a criminality and that it is dangerous. Of course it can be dangerous to flash your money around, but if you act normal, you will find the trip worth while. 85% of the people who live there actually have jobs. Even well paid people live there.

If you want to take a trip in the slum you should bring a local, so that you wont get lost. At times it can feel like a labourint. The streets are narrow and if you are claustrophobic I don't recomend it. There has actually been a lot of discussion around the slum of New Dehli. In 2010 they hid the slum with bamboo curtains during the commonwealth games. This was not well accepted by the people and that was debated. But in spite of this, I recommend you all to go to the slum when you are in New Dehli. You will become able to see trifles in perspective and to appreciate your life. We definitely did.
