Yeah! Tomorrow we arrive in Chennai, India! After we left Cape Town about twelve days ago, I thought that the trip to India was going to be really long. Strangely enough it has not been that bad- with the exception of midterms. Yeah, all of my midterms were hard and tricky this semester. It was also difficult to find a place to go and get away from people because the ship is only so big. Although I managed to get a lot of studying in.
Tomorrow my friend Amanda and I are going to do a little shopping in the markets of Chennai. We are going to buy a camera (Amanda's broke), a scarf because I need one for the Hindi temples, and we want to get throw away shoes because apparently after India you don't want to wear the those you were wearing there. I will let you know how that goes!
Tomorrow afternoon I set off for my flight to Delhi! I am going on a Semester At Sea trip to the Taj Mahal and also some visits to an orphanage! I looked at my schedule for this trip and it looks like I am always on the move from temples, service visits, and trains. Sooo cool!!
Tonight is our logistical pre-port for India about health and safety. Do not worry I already know not to drink ANY of the tap water there or buy food from the streets. I have been hearing that it doesn't matter what you eat because you will be sick anyway. However, I am really excited for the food because although I have only tried Indian food a few times it is really good. I will be really careful though of what I am eating, no worries.
Ahh I am going to be in ASIA tomorrow!!!! I have been studying and learning about India in detail for the past few years and I cannot believe that I will get to experience everything I have been reading!! I think that this will be the first port that I will REALLY see how much I take what I have for granted.
Updates coming after the TAJ!
Have a Great Week Everyone =)
Love Always,
Kristen
