We have now been in India two weeks today, and that means two full weeks of twist turns and plenty of adventure!

Things I love:
  • Eating with your right hand
  • Wearing handmade Punjabi’s  
  • Riding in motor rickshaws
  • Bobbling your head in every conversation
  • Amazing service
  • Hanging your clothes out to dry 
  • Drinking buffalo milk
  • Tiffins!
  • Chi tea
  • Meeting some of the most wonderful people!

Things you live with:
  • Your left hand replaces toilet paper
  • You wake up sweating every hour. (I keep a bottle of water by my bed to dump over myself... but it's dry in an hour)
  • Spicy spicy very spicy food
  • Arguing with 20 motor rickshaw drivers before you find someone who will take you for the actual price  
  • Relentlessly starring at you is perfectly normal
  • You never really know what is in your food... or where it's been
  •  Meeting some very interesting people
  • Idols everywhere

  • Women want your loving help
  • Cuddling lots of tiny babies
  • Many opportunity’s to practice skills such as suturing 
  • Smell is stronger than on Africa
  • Many many many people
  • A hundred Student nurses are ALWAYS asking you a million questions and they never miss a chance to take pictures of you.
  • Lack of loving care and knowledge about some things
