INDIA | Tuesday, 20 November 2007 | Views [1334] | Comments [1]

so.. this morning i slept in and it was beautiful.. so nice.. about 11 we went for breakfast/lunch.. and after we walked up and down the main bazaar looking looking looking.. i didn't plan on buying anything but i ended up spending about 20 dollars on various things.. less than 20 actually.. maybe 650 rupia.  for that i got a leather wallet, a small chess set, two bags for presents (like purses..), a pair of sunglasses, a small changepurse, a watch.. i think that's it.. my hindi number skills are coming along slowly slowly.. ek do teen char panch che saat at no das gyara baraa .. pandra .. bis . pachis . tais .. charis .. pachaas .. ekso doso teenso charso panchso etc.. yeah.. wow.. slowly slowly.. anyways there's a ton of tourists here it's amazing.. i forgot about foreigners in india .. but yeah there's plenty .. from all over. .

anyhow.. tonight (shortly) i'm going to call my friend i met in manali who lives in delhi.. he works in marketing or something of the sort.. and he has work in connaught place until 7 so at 7 i'll call him and we'll see about meeting him for dinner somewhere.. and then we can talk about whether he can take tomorrow part of the day to go sightseeing with us.. he's a very nice guy.. so i look forward to seeing him again..

i figured out how to call ISD to america the other day.. its cheap if you do via internet.. 2-5 rupees per minute.. so about 10-25 cents.. the problem with india is everywhere you go it's a different price.. sometimes you do well.. sometimes you get ripped off.. c'est la vie..

anyhow.. that's all for now..

Hi Josh, it sounds like your tolerance for tourists is definitely waning....which makes you an official Indian.
I guess.. you feel totally enculturateed.:-)
Are you feeling the crunch as your time in India grows shorter. It seemed like it took forever for a week to pass but now, it feels like it is going pretty fast. It sounds like you have met many fine people along the way except for the ones that are ripping you off
:-(
Wel continue the great journey with JOY !! Miss you, love you~xoxoxxoDonna
