Closer and crazier down in Colaba




We moved down to Hotel Volga in the Colaba district yesterday. A whole lot closer to where we have our internship and to everything else. A lot cheaper housing too, but so is the standard. But we'll manage. Outside our "hotel" is very lively, with hoards of street salesmen. On my first night down here, two people tried to sell drugs to me. The best way to deal with them is to ignore them. No long explanations are needed.

Today we followed a co-worker and visited young children in a school in some other district. It was an interesting experience. The kids got exited and loved saying phrases in English to us. Such as "Hello!", "What is your name?" and "How are you doing?" Many of them wanted to shake our hands. In one of the classes the students came running and stretched out their hands so that we could shake their hands. I felt like Jay Leno in the beginning of a show when he shakes the audience's hands.

My stomach has not felt good lately.... I hope it doesn't get worse.
