A different perspective

So... about walking around the streets. Forget what I said. Actually, if you want to live like Sheri, Liz and Reilly... forget just about everything your parents or the guidebooks would tell you. We walked around the streets today, bought food from street vendors, wore clothes without sleeves, talked to strangers... just a wild day. I definitely feel like I this would not be the way I would live here. I like trying to fit in in a new place and not do my own thing. At the same time I have to admire how brave these girls are for coming to a brand new place and just trying to make it through. I don't think I could do that.

Waited a lot for various things. I'm beginning to get a grasp of Indian time-- it's about normal time x3. We had to wait forever to get a bagel at the bagel shop, and then getting nails done took hours. At least my nails are are cool cOloRZ now...

Going back to Mehek's to stay one last night, but plans are constantly changing... I should be meeting up with the Alliance tomorrow night, but I don't really know what I'm doing tonight. Don't really know what I'll be eating, probably going to do something ridiculous like ride a rickshaw home late at night-- we shall see.

One step at a time... one step at a time... oh India.
