Around the house

Today, the most of us were feeling a lot better. We all had digestive problems some way or another. I think it is all the spicy food that we are eating.  Its been almost a week and an half and we are all starting to crave American food, like a cheese burger, mmmm. After class today, we went to a South Indian restaurant, which isn’t as spicy. Some of the girls thought that the butter dosa dipped in lentils tasted like a grilled cheese and tomato soup. It’s a stretch but I could see what they were getting at. This afternoon we got our papers done for the class then went out to go shopping at a place called Dilli Haat, which is just an outside market place. It was pretty cool because we all tried our hands at bartering. I thought it was funny that everyone kept coming back to Aman to ask if they were getting a good deal or not. It was tough for us to get into the mind set that the asking price is not the price that you have to pay. At the end of our little excursion, a dust storm rolled in really quickly, knocking the power out for about an hour. It was my first real experience with a dust storm, I thought it was weird to have a storm without the rain. Sometime later this week I think that we are going to Aman’s parents house to get henna. I think the girls are more excited about this than the guys are. Most of us are looking for a good home cooked meal. I’ve noticed that I’m really getting used to the driving in the city and I don’t have a panic attack every time that we get in a car. I just hope that I won’t be this crazy when I get back in the states. Tomorrow morning a couple of us are getting up early to play a game of cricket before we start our school day. Hopefully it won’t be that hot in the morning. I think that high today got up to 113 F and the low is 90, which is only at 3 in the morning. Well, I’m headed to bed now so that I can get some sleep before tomorrow.
