Okay, this isn't my first time in India, but I'm learning these things for the first time.
- The food is SPICY. Like I'm from Louisiana, so I thought I'd be fine when it came to eating spicy foods. NOPE. NOPE NOPE.
- Safety isn't really the objective when driving. THEY DRIVE LIKE MANIACS DEAR LORD.
- Excellent coffee. I had the best cup of coffee in my life today. BLESS.
- Air conditioning is optional? Like you can choose between air conditioned vehicles and non-air conditioned vehicles and hotel rooms and the like.
- Showers. Dear heavens. Last night I tried to take a shower and I had to use a bucket and hold my head under the faucet and the water was freezing and wow I'm a spoiled American.
- I saved this one for last because it's a bit heavy. Poverty. There is so much poverty here. People are sleeping in make-shift tents in piles of garbage and are working their butts off for practically nothing. Children are sitting is disease filled water and mud and somehow still have smiles on their faces? I have taken so much for granted. Like earlier I was throwing a fit because I couldn't get connected to wifi. How disgusting is that? People have absolutely NOTHING and I find a reason to complain about not having wifi? It was definitely a wake up call.
I'm sure there will be many more lessons learned in my month here in India and I'm kinda excited to learn them.
