Hey everybody,
I figured mom would appreciate that subject title! Wow so much has happened during the first three days. The 8 hour flight was a bit rough as the flight to London consisted of 2 or 3 hrs of sleep. From there we went on to see London for the day with some of Mike's friends, bought a first aid kit (not because anything had happened yet but just in case we need it). I bought the first aid kit at the travel store Mike likes to go to when he's in London. The place was awesome...it was full of a bunch of useful things for the wrong price. So besides the first aid kit, I decided to get a sleeping bag liner to beat the heat. All totaling about 50 USD.
That night we went out for drinks with MIke's friends from London...almost ended up missing the flight, but ran through the airport and made it with a whole 10 minutes to spare! Beautiful. Despite the slight buzz, the flight from London to Delhi didn't go any better in terms of sleeping. I probably got 2 hrs of sleep during the 9 hour flight over. Needless to say 5 hrs. of sleep in the last 60 hours didn't feel all that great. As we boarded the plane in London for the first ten minutes there was a guy near the back of the plane screaming his lungs out. We then found out that he was being deported back to India from England. We think its because of a crime he committed back in India but we're still not sure.
On to India! Despite the poverty and obscure character India seems to have, the people are incredibly friendly and view white people almost as celebrities. Most of the time all they want to do is talk to us and see where we are from, what brings us to India and all that jazz. Some people even simply want to stop by to get their picture taken with us! They then go on to show these pictures to their family and friends because its a sign of prestige. Somehow the paparazzi found us a handfull of times so far, and I'm sure it won't stop soon. I've decided anyone who wants to get a picture with us on their camera will also have to get their picture taken on mine! Later on a collage might be necessary.
That's all I have at the moment but for now its back to sleeping off jet lag!
Hope to write again soon,
Kyle

ResponderEliminarIt must be something about London that draws everyone to go out before their flights. When I was there I lost the 2 girls I was with and they sat out overnight in the rain and we almost missed our flight the following day as well. Glad to hear you are having a good time and when you get back we need to get some drinks stateside so I can hear of all your adventures.
