Flying into Delhi is a bit surreal: the swine flu has apparently been multiplying while I haven’t been paying attention, and all the immigration officers are wearing face masks. It looks like some sort of futuristic totalitarian play. You have to fill out a health form saying where you’ve been; I have the slightest bit of a cough which I try to suppress while standing in line for fear of being thrown into a closet somewhere.
Coming out into the airport I find that none of the ATMs is working and no one wants to exchange Nepali rupees. I’m stuck with 2500 of them and probably will be for a long time. I splurge on an airport hotel, which is fairly clean by Indian standards but still a bit grotty.

THE HOBOTECT 
The swine flu thing is a a hassle. I got put in the penalty box for a few hours in Kuala Lumpur last week becuase I was American. Germany just hassled me a bit on this trip. Singapore peers at you through a heat sensor.
Much nonsense!
