27 hours what would you do in that time?????

Ok there are so many things to still tell about Bombay but I am going to link some of that with another post. I am in Vellor right now and there is not much here other then an old fort and a Christian medical college. Both of which are really cool. I am going to be walking through the hospital tomorrow and went and saw the fort today. I bought this piece of cloth today that is called a lungi (not sure of the exact spelling but that is how it sounds). Yes it is true I am walking around in a dress (well more of a skirt) thing. A lot of the locals all over India wear these things and I discovered my need for one after a few British guys asked me if I had one. Then they told me how comfortable it is to have one and wear it. So today I was shopping with some people that I met here at the Medical campus and decided that I would give it a try. Guess what house mates yes that is right I am bringing this custom back with me. I just have to get the experts here to show me how to wrap it up the right way so that it does not fall off all the time and expose my butt when I am walking. Ok that only happened once and thankfully it was very dark outside............ As for other things here they are good. It has been odd though for me a North American to adjust to all of the cultural changes that take place from one region to the other. They are somewhat small and suttle changes but the effect of them is a big thing. Not to mention that I was getting used to hearing Merati spoken around me all the time and now it is something different all together. Well being here has been incredible so far. I am rooming with a guy by the name of Chad. He is from Kansas City. I also got to meet and hang out with about 5 British (2 of which were born in Karala), a guy from Norway, 2 girls from Australia, and a girl from Toronto. So that has been lots of fun. It is way more fun to shop at the market with 5 people compared to yourself go figure. So having people around is cool. I am heading from here on Monday and going into Banglor so that will be lots of fun. Well so much to say so little time. Hope that this keeps you hanging till next time.
