13 things! :)

Here are a few things I've learned about life in Chennai.
1) Eating with your hand does require a lot of skill.
2) Your thumb can be used as mini shovel in this eating process.
3) You will make a mess!
4) It's super fun to eat with your hands and not be looked at like your "special"
5) March-May are going to be hot and miserable! Oh what fun!
6) You get used to having a fine layer of dirt on your skin at all times.
7) I have developed an art at killing little "shower buddies" They all find themselves from which they came. The drain!
8) Flip flops in February are FANTASTIC!!!
9) Dirty feet...all the time!
1o) I have lost count of how many mosquito bites I have acquired. Those suckers are vicious!!!
11) The auto-rick driver will stop in the middle of the road if doesn't think that you're paying him enough. Um, fun!
12) No one else on the road seemed to notice that we just stopped. They all just went around us like we were a cow in the road.
13) High powered fans are DA BOMB!!!

WOW! Lucky girl, hot weather in Feb. It's still freezing here so you're not missing anything!
How is it there since Slumdog Millionaire won 8 Oscars?

Shower Buddies? eeeep. :)
Love the new green look, by the by!

Bettyna- The Oscar winning didn't really do much in Chennai. I doubt that most of the population even knows about it. This is India.

Beth-I've only had one shower buddy and he didn't put up too much of a fight. Which I was thankful for. Haven't seen any since!

Number 11 and 12 made me laugh. That is totally something that would happen to me! Miss and love you!
