Bangalore, India

Well I'm finally here in Bangalore, India. I don't have much to say since I'm all spaced out and feel a little funky. The plane rides themselves weren't so bad. It is an 8 hour flight from Atlanta to Gatwick. Once in the UK we had to switch planes. It was nice and convienent that the next plane we had to board was at an entirely different airport. After an hour bus ride we arrived at Heathrow which is basically a mall filled with stuff that's over priced. (When did airports turn from airports to shopping plazas?)

I think I was the luckiest person in the airport that day. While we were waiting for our next flight, we went and sat back on these benches and I had the best foot massage of my life. It was great, I had a pillow, one of those eye cover up things and Ash was working her magic. It really really was amazing and much needed. I know sometimes people wonder if dating a massage therapist is all it's cracked up to be. I suppose it all depends on which one you hang with. As for me, it's incredible.

After our short six hour layover we prepared ourselves for the final 10 hour flight to India. With my own television set and a couple meals, the flight went by pretty fast. Although the television set and the food had nothing to do with the airspeed. The fuel made the flight fast, the movies made it tolerable. We arrived at the airport at some dreadfully early hour, passed customs, changed money, got a cab and headed to our prebooked hotel.

Nothing beats arriving t your hotel in a foriegn country and having them tell you that they are all booked up. Fortunately with some talking they found some space and finally stopped moving.

With all this moving around, my body is basically clueless. I don't really know what day it is or what time it should be. I'm hungry, but don't really feel like eating, I'm tired but don't feel like sleeping. I'm not sure what I'll do today. Tomorrow we are taking a train down to Kerala to hang for a month. That'll be fantastic since I haven't been in one place for a month since summer.

I'll post some pictures once I take them. Until then, just use your imagination.
