Musings After Two Weeks

The whiny side of me:

• Who knew it would take 5-10 minutes for the water to get hot.....a cold shower it was.
• After 50 mosquito bites, have I given my yearly quota of blood?
• If I repeat myself for the tenth time, will the shopkeeper understand me then?
• Why am I expected to go get cash when your store has lost electricity and you can't swipe my credit card?
• Who knew a hole in the floor was considered a toilet, made me miss the outhouse on Grandma's farm!  And we won't even discuss the lack of toilet paper.

The "in awe" side of me:

• The traffic, I just love being driven around in the traffic!
• The graciousness of the Indian people.
• The great difference between the have and have nots, and the absolute dignity all maintain.
• The shopping.........I'm almost scared to see the damage Page will do.
• Did I mention the traffic?!
• The food, my family will never believe how spicy of food I eat.  So delicious!
• The absolute beauty of this country.

Did you know?

• A power strip is call an electrical extension board with spike?
• Most tea and coffee is drank with a very healthy dose of milk.....they brew it very strong.
• Vendors won't accept currency with a tear, you have to exchange it at a bank.
• The newest song craze is "Why This Kolaveri Di", go watch it on uTube, it will be stuck in your head for days!

Final musings, not once have I regretted my decision to come to India.  Each day I look forward to learning more about India and her people.  I can't wait for each adventure ahead, this is truly the gift of a lifetime!
