I have been here for 2 weeks so far and time has passed so quickly. I am settling in to the new way of life and finding my way around the city. My host family are very friendly and feed me up well on lots of curry, dahl, chapati and rice. This weekend a few of us are going to Kerala until Tuesday which im really looking forward to. We are going by bus which might be a bit hellish (especially if theres no air-conditioning) but once we do arrive -after about 13hours, it will be lovely to see the coast and the famous backwaters. I will write again when we return!
