Arrived in India
Bear with me as I'm tired and still learning how to format these posts.
Here is the link to my India photos on Flickr. I will continue to add photos to this location. Photos
You can find pics of my apartment complex, as well as a couple from dinner. Notice how greasy I am as I was afraid to take a shower in my scary bathroom (more pics to follow).
I arrived in Bangalore around midnight local time and made it through customs by 1:30. I was picked up by a driver and brought to the appt which is very close to the airport. I tipped the driver 200 rupees which is ~ $5 USD, which I found out was as much people as some of the drivers make in a few days. Oops!
I'm very glad I brought my only sheets as my bed is a platform with a 3" piece of foam on top. So it's at least nice to have some soft sheets and pillows from home since all they gave me was a very scratchy flat sheet covering the foam and some scratchy blankets that appear to be 50 years old. My room when I arrived:
The apt complex is huge. This was taken from the balcony outside my room.
I know you're thinking "Wow, that looks nice!". And from far away it kinda does. But trust me it's a little scary.
FYI, the time difference is 10.5 hours ahead so when it's noon in Chicago it's 10:30 pm in India.
I leave you with some pics of my temporary "cankles", feet and ankles swollen from sitting on a plane for about 17 hours. Fun, huh?

hi well thank u for posting some facts about INDIA(some are unclear though)
it sounds more towards the disgusting feeling wat foreigners usually have towards india(especially indians)
next time when u visit do try to know the fact why indians get adjusted with all th negative points u mentioned out here.
remember its 60 years jus 60 yrs we got independence from real devil british empire.. but still we have achieved so much so faster.. like many other asian countries japan e.g( which inspite of nuclear bombing from so called big brother of world)
some nations inspite of being free from 0th year wat have they achieved...? just think off.. thank u.. jai hind.
