Arrival

The trip to Delhi was extremely long, 14.5 hrs long. Everyone that was on my flight wore Purdue clothing so that we could pick each other out on the plane. I was lucky enough to change my seat with a man who noticed that the people on either side of him were wearing Purdue shirts. I sat near the back of the plane with Shannon, a girl in my class. We managed to get through 4 movies: Taken (amazing!!!!), Defiance, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and Bride Wars. I managed to get maybe an hour or two of sleep. I also got about three chapters of some of the required text read. We got two meals on the plane, one was pasta and chicken and the other was three cheese omelet. Once we got off the plane everyone met up with Aman, our Prof. and headed out in to the chilly 90 degree heat. It's suppose to get up to 109F tomorrow, not too happy about that but I'll deal with it when it gets here. We rented some vans to get us to the Boarding House, which is about 20 minutes away from the Airport. As far as I know the rules of the road are more like guideline and most people don't follow them, nobody stays in the lanes and they use the horn for everything because they don't have mirrors on the cars due to the fact that they have all been broken off from driving to close. This is the key for the stoplights: green don't slow down, yellow speed up, Red lay on the horn as you blow through the intersection like a mad man. Needless to say, the van that I was in was relieved to get to the house with out getting hit and dying. Hopefully we'll get used to the driving later in the trip. I'll put a video up of the driving tomorrow, you really need to see this. Our house is nice, one of my friends that i knew before the trip is my roommate and we're in the first room in the house so I don't have to lug my bags up and down the stairs. The room is about the same size as my dorm room in Earhart, maybe a little bigger and we have our own washroom. The shower, which I was just informed by Steve, my roommate, is in some serious need of CLR because it comes out in four sprays two of which are in the complete opposite direction that they need to be. I had some confusion trying to get the plugs to work because I didn't know that there was a switch for the plugs, slight panic from Steve.
