Made it to India! Internet is super cheap, but such a hassle to get. I just ate a huge meal with dessert for $2. We went shopping today and bought some cool clothes. It looks just like the pictures. It's really neat, but definitely a HUGE change from Switzerland. It's really really dirty. The contrast is ridiculous. There a huge new hotels next to slums. I can't even explain it. The room is ok. I haven't showered in 2 days and I'm wearning pants and a cardiagan in 80 degree weather. We got to our hostel at 4 am last night. The plane ride wasn't too bad. I even got to watch a modern family episode. Today we went shopping and I bought some cute light shirts that I'll be able to bring home with me. Going to bed super early. My country coordinators are great. Oh, also, we don't have showers. We have to take a shower with buckets that we fill. Really hard not to drink the water, but getting used to it. Huge bottels of water are 50 cents. Other than that things are gonig well. Really big adjustment, I'm defintely roughing it. Let Steve Ware know I used my spoon/fork. It was to eat nutella out of a jar...gross. hahaha. I picked up a bunch of granola bars so I"ll be good wtih food. It's been really good so far though, just a little spicy. We are going to do yoga everyday and we have a dance session tomorrow. I will keep you posted when I can. Will you pass this on to people? COuldn't get onto my blog, but wanted to keep you posted. Love and miss you all. Can't say goodbye in Tamil yet, so byeee! Love you <3 |
I want to keep you all posted while I'm abroad and I thought a blog would be the best way. Enjoy!
