Suprising. It seems like something New Delhi would have accomplished first.

Just a few interesting links about India in case anyone still checks this occassionally.

Apparently Bush was in Hyderabad a few months before me. I'd never heard that, I just stumbled upon the article somehow today.

Here is a link to the journal of someone who is currently in India. I haven't read many of the entries but I looked at pictures of ( Read more... )

I've been back home for a few days now and the adjustment has gone better than I figured it would. Here and there were so different that I figured I'd be suffering more culture shock when I returned but I guess two months isn't long enough to get so accustomed to a different way of life that you completely forget the old. Anyways, I realized while ( Read more... )

Well, I've been back in the US for nearly two days now. It's pretty boring here, just like I always suspected it was. Still, it's nice to be able to walk outside my door and think that I'm more likely to be killed by something like second hand smoke than a run away bull, or an angry Maoist, or a rickshaw driving on the wrong side of the street, or ( Read more... )

There's only two hours left until I head to the airport and bid farewell to India. I'm sad and happy at the same time. I can't wait to see everyone at home but I'm going to miss the craziness that is India.

Even though there's more than twice as many people here the infrastructure is so much better, there's much more greenery, and it's so much cleaner that it hardly even looks ( Read more... )

Yes, I've done it again. I've managed to shove all of my possessions into one suitcase. This time I won't be able to carry it on since it's going to exceed the weight limit by a ton, with all those heavy souvenirs inside and all. But still, with other people going out and buying more suitcases, I'm feeling pretty good that I don't need to. Everyone ( Read more... )

Last thing for now, I swear. My trip has made me realize that my complete lack of knowledge about geography must be changed. So I decided that every week I'll choose a country at random, figure out where it is, its major cities, a bit about politics and economics, major social issues, climate, population, the works - you know, all the world ( Read more... )
