My mom writes, "Dear Jeremy, I miss your blog and wondered if you are ready to begin writing now? What have been the highs and lows so far in India? Also do you photos of places you have been?"
Yes, my apologies for not writing since my arrival in India. This has partly been because until now there have been no new questions, but mostly because settling in (or not settling in) has been a very long process. I'm ready to write, though, so here we go...
To begin, this has been my itinerary so far:
- December 9-17: Bangalore, Karnataka
- December 18-20: Hampi, Karnataka
- December 21-22: Bangalore
- December 23-24: Mysore, Karnataka
- December 25-27: Bangalore
- December 28- January 1: Pondicherry (Union Territory)
- January 2-3: Chennai, Tamil Nadu
- January 4-19: Kolkata/Calcutta, West Bengal
- January 20-?: Delhi (Union Territory)
It would be futile to summarize the last month and a half, so I won't even try. Instead, I'll try to update more regularly over the next few weeks, either in response to questions or on general themes.
The highs and lows? The highs so far have been eating and walking in Kolkata, meeting some extremely nice people and slowly getting the hang of things. The lows so far have been illness (bacterial throat infection in early December, food poisoning in mid-December and a head cold last week), pollution in Bangalore and Kolkata (my mucus is nearly black and getting darker, I have seen blue sky once and for 15 minutes in the past two weeks) and people constantly trying to sell me things.
About photos, unfortunately my internet connection is too spotty to upload photos regularly. When I get home, though, I'll make sure to post the photos online and put the link on this blog.
