The Journey

I still don't really think that I fully realize that I'm in India.
My journey here went pretty smoothly. The only bad parts of my trip included: being stuck in the Frankfurt airport for nearly 8 hours and then sitting next to a woman with a baby on the flight to Hyderabad. Her baby cried nonstop for the last hour or so of the flight. That gave me a headache.

We got in around 1 or 2 in the morning and made it to the hotel that we're staying at by about 3:45 in the morning. Today's been quite a long day. It's really been a task to stay awake. Who knows how long this jet lag will last. We begin orientation tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM. This afternoon they took us on a bus to a place that they called a "craft fair" where there was a bunch of people selling various wares. I didn't buy anything, but I did get some mendhi (henna). I think I got ripped off though, but whatever, it was only the first afternoon. I'll figure out what the proper prices for things are eventually. I've eaten three meals here so far, and I haven't felt sick, so I think that's a good sign.
