9. Host Family (8.22.2008)

First expe­ri­ence meet­ing my Indian host fam­ily. Krishna’s birth­day cel­e­bra­tion ensues, plus inter­est­ing, clumsy cul­tural inter­ac­tion. I make a fool of myself by fail­ing to ring Krishna’s bell properly.

10. Other Students (8.24.2008)

A blurb about the other stu­dents in the pro­gram with Dorothy and me, plus the first of many argu­ments we had with them.

14. Roaches! (8.31.08)

My short-lived vow to begin a geno­cide cam­paign against roaches (which are fly­ing and up to four inches in South­ern India).

24. Exit (12.10.2008)

My final entry about liv­ing in India. Reflec­tions on exis­tence as West­ern­ers in a very dif­fer­ent cul­ture and per­cep­tion in gen­eral. Small overview of my first time rid­ing a motorcycle.
