Adventures in Mysore

I'm a 20 year old college junior spending a semester abroad in Mysore, in South India. Read this blog and see just how much fun I'm having.

CRACK! BOOM!

Happy Diwali to everyone. The Hindu festival of lights starts tonight, and as I type this I can hear fireworks going off somewhere near the guesthouse. Wonder where I can get my hands on some...

hey --

i hope you are well, lice notwithstanding.

your post about feeling ripped off reminded me of the time in S America when i found myself trying to haggle over -- literally -- 75 cents. it's amazing how quickly we adapt to our environment!

you can find the whole thing on cspan, if you'd like...

it seems santorum will lose, but i am really pulling for webb in VA. i HATE george allen.

take care...
