Good morning everybody! It was a refreshing chill morning when I woke up. It is a time to take some picture of the hotel where I’m residing since last night am unable to do that because it already late. 
After took a good shower and a superb shake, I walked to the conference room at Basement C of the hotel… and the condition is really basement like literally. Another new environment to be compromise is the quality of air which in my opinion is a heavy-kind-of-dust in the air, or maybe it was me who not yet cope with the environment. Luckily it was not me when another friend of mine said that is the normal scenario in Delhi. So I have to cope with it for the next few days.
dah lah salah eja nama aku nih~ ish... 
The first day session was really fun by getting know each participants. There are 11 of us only from 6 participating countries including India as a host country. The session started by 10.00am and ended by 5.00pm. When the session was done for the day, I took the opportunity to have a look at the Delhi town. So my first destination was the nearest shopping mall situated at the Press Enclave Road that are the DSL Palace and Select Citywalk Mall.
After mingling around the mall, we took a kind-a-thai-tut-tut vehicle to get back to the hotel. As usual, riding a public transport in Delhi will be a heart pounding moment to you. The travel from the mall to the hotel is INR50 each person.

I walked about an hour to reach the place (which is about 25 minutes by car) just to observe the living kind of Delhi. Surprisingly, in my humble opinion the situation is a little bit under my first impression about Delhi. Some notes about it:-
(a) The traffic really is in chaotic situation – everyone is honking everybody even though at the red light!
(b) The sidewalk is not well maintained – lots of construction site left unattended and make it dangerous to public who use the path.
(c) There are so many unsheltered people make a living by the roadside – they just make the side of the road as their house and a playground to their children.
(d) The garbage system need to be improved – the municipality should address this matter (that’s what can I say in short… so disgusting!)

Surprisingly, the scenery was completely different once you get into the shopping mall area. Those 2 malls are something like our Suria KLCC in Kuala Lumpur. I took my dinner with my friend Mr.Zamri at the food court. They used coupon system to cater their services. As for tonight, I tried a chiken Arayes and orange juice at the Zaitoon Arabian Food. The food is halal and it cost me about INR189. One more thing, if in Malaysia we are being charged 6% of service tax when dining at certain restaurant, here in India they are taxing us on each item with different rate of taxes between 12% - 25%! Just imagine that my coupon balance was only INR31 out of INR230 at the beginning~

p/s: Be thankful! Pamper your body with a healthy shake!
