D Day, Thursday, 3rd May, Touchdown India

Welcome to the land of the religious. The differences are clear. Everyone stares at us. Well I don’t blame them, they don’t see many Chinese around. 1st chance I had I lighted a cigarette. 6 freakin hours. City kid couldn’t find an ashtray to stub it out. Imagine what I felt when Mr Shyam, our admin manager, telling me to dump it somewhere. No more $200 fines.

The weather is sweltering, and it was 6pm when we touched down. Imagine the heat at noon. When I went into my room, it felt like I’ve entered an oven. Bathe 3 times in 5 hours. At 2am, I couldn’t take it and took of my shorts. Good luck to the mosquito loitering in my room.
