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.

Disaster strikes

As you may have deduced, I am NOT on a train right now.

We were at our pre-train dinner when we get a call from Raju. Our train plans are no more. Apparently he decided that the Dasara crowds would be too much on the trains and cancelled our tickets, booking us for an 8:30 AM flight out of Bangalore instead.

For those who don't know the geography of the area, this means we will be leaving the guesthouse at 3 AM for the 3 hour bus ride to the airport. It's a 45 minute flight to Chennai. From there we'll be going pretty much directly to the first temple. We're going to be totally sleep-deprived and obligated to pay attention to the teacher. This is especially bad for me because I'm writing my final architecture paper on the very first temple we're visiting.

I'm fairly disappointed. As anyone who knows me knows, train is my favorite way to travel, and it doesn't help that this completely ruins our sleep schedule.
