total culture shock!!! driving from the airport to our first hostel was a crazy experience, they are very aggressive drivers and they have no lanes. each driver lays on their horns, constantly, squeezing where you fit. it took about an hour going through the slums (see the movie) to get to our hostel from the airport, pretty intense!!! when we got to our place we were relieved to see the difference in scenery, it's beautiful. we went and checked out the city right away, the food was a little intimidating, taking about 2 hours to find a place to eat but it was delicious. could not communicate with our waiter or anyone else at all, the language barrier is pretty embarrassing. i feel like all the foreigners we served this summer, who we loved!!!...after almost 40 hour of traveling with no sleep we called it an early night and our taking a crash course on hindi in the morning......wish us luck!!!!
sounds daunting and amazing at the same time. Have you got plenty of tums!!!
