India.. the jokes she pulls

Jaipur, India


3/2/08
I’ve neglected to say what I’ve been actually doing this weekend. On Friday our class Field trip was to go see Tare Zamee Par. It’s a Bollywood movie with a very predictable plot but very moving and, since Aamir Khan is in it, well done. Then Sarah and I went off to crossword where we bought my cheap movies and books, and then ate ridiculously priced but fantastic western food and almost didn’t have enough money to pay when they couldn’t run Sarah’s card.
Yesterday I had my second Saturday off and as last week went shopping. This time I bought myself pearl earrings and some teacups as our thank you gift to Sunita. We spent the evening in the other girl’s room where mosquitoes have found a way in and were infesting.
Today we went for our dresses and learned we hadn’t enough time left to have them be made. However, we were impressed by the men in the shop and will likely go back during our week back in Jaipur.
The real exciting (and enraging) clincher of the weekend though was the best joke pulled over by India yet. Just when you think you've got everything down and know a place, India reveals are peculiar sense of humour. After a semester of asking, searching, questing and yearning, we found wireless internet, two days before leaving here. Where was it? In City Pulse mall, located literally just down the block. That’s right free wireless Internet located in a quiet, temperature-controlled, apple-pie stocked café. If I have felt such bitterness before, it’s difficult to remember. In fact, I’m sending this very blog from that wireless internet. Ugh!

I can't believe you had these blogs posted and I haven't read them until today. Your comments on home sickness are wise. I bet you are now feeling a little bit homesick for Jaipur!
