JMP does Delhi

In the second year masters program at TU Delft, Design students have to work in cross-(design) master programs. Together with 4 other boys, our group is travelling to India to work on a rickshaw project in Varanasi. This will be done in corporation with the Rotterdam based organisation ENVIU. Over the next 6 months we will create and build a working prototype.

We touched down this morning in Delhi, and will be here for the next few days. Jesse from Enviu is putting us up in his house, and we had a great time exploring Old Delhi today. People warned me about culture shock, and shucks, i thought i was prepared. However, it isn't until you arrive yourself, and experience riding in a rickshaw on the wrong side of the road, or are tempted to eat street food, that you only begin to realise that you are in India.

Here are some snaps from today.
