Today was kind of a swing day. I woke up feeling great and with plans to go sightseeing but soon fell back to sleep and didnt get up until just before time to go. At work we kind-of got around a corner, but there is a long way to go.
Every day we show up and there is "bottled" water waiting for us. Except I notice that the Indians drink it by pouring it into their mouths and not touching it to their lips. Plus it seems fuller than bottled water should be. Of course this realization made my sore throat way worse as I talked myself into being sick.
So far, though, not a hint of traveller's troubles, though a diet coke did make me feel a little weird.
We have to work out our weekend plans still. Our counterparts all want us to see the Taj Mahal, I'm so-so about the plane ride. I think we will shop and maybe see some sights.
Speaking of which, here's a charming sentiment:
Viva la Banglaru, Baby!
the supreme court building in the Phillipines was a very sedate,classical structucture with a number of brass plaques reading "bawhal um dito" (tagalagog) which I learned did not translate to 'this is a very important historical structure.'
ReplyDeletea local shop in northern nigeria had a mutltcolored scene drawn covering the full side of the structure. at the bottom of the drawing a messages in prominant letters read--'warning this strucure has been specially treated so that people urinating near the strucure will soo enconour a most dire malady' west africa wins again! grampame
Loving your blog, bro. Hopefully you will keep that fresh perspective as you dodge those 3-wheeled Disney World wannabees... The atmosphere at home in 35 V Road is nowhere you want to be right now. Enjoy yourself... drink it in... but check the bottle!
