I know- I've not been writing too much recently, but what can I say? Life has really been picking up here in India now that I have less than two months here. I might as well try to fill you in on what I've been up to. In most exciting news I've been shopping a couple of times and bought some fantastic items!
Last weekend I went into the old city and ended up buying another sari. This one blows the purple one out of the water. It's so gorgeous. I don't have a picture, but rest assured, that when I get it tailored and everything, I will post a photo, even if it's not until a month from now. Then this weekend I ended up going shopping again. My friend Angelina, who's from Orissa (the state neighboring Andhra Pradesh, where I am), took me shopping to help me figure out what's good and what's not in Indian fashion. I definitely got some really nice Salwaar Kameez outfits. I'm pretty excited. Also, we got a cappuccio while we were out shopping, so that made me happy.
Over the past few weeks, as you all know the Presidential debates have been going on, so there's a Democrat's Abroad group here in Hyderabad that meets often and they've screened all of the debates for us. I just went to the one from Wednesday night this afternoon. Someone recorded it, and they then hosted a showing of it at a really nice hotel near our campus. What made it even better was the fact that this hotel had Perrier!!! I've been craving it so much since I've been in India, so the fact that I finally got to have it is so exciting.
Next weekend I'm going on a trip to Mysore with my program. I'm not really sure what they have planned for us, but I'm sure that it will give me an opportunity to take a lot of pretty pictures and share them with you.
