wow, this brings back so many memories I have of India. Have you seen any monkeys yet? The monkeys were my favorite part of India!!! And what's the weather like? Is it hot and humid? But you're in the north and I was in the south, so maybe it's not the same up there. I don't see your objection to wearing saris. I loved wearing them. And by the end of my trip I had learned how to tie them. It's not so hard once you've had practice. Just be sure to use a LOT of safety pins. The only sucky thing is using the bathroom in them, without getting them... soiled. But they're so lovely!!! You must try them!!!

also plz don't get killed by a train bomb. that shit happens up there.
