So much craziness in so little time, I think this merits bullet-point format:
Things I have done in the past week:
-Ridden on the back of a motorcycle for the first time: sooooo scary and fun!
-Successfully completed 45 Kathak turns: oh yeah!
-Found out that, yes, I will be teaching an aerials class to students who already know lots and whose language I don't speak. *gulp*
-Experienced the Indian railway system twice, once in luxury and once in: well, not-so-luxury.
-Stayed in a room about half as big as a Willets double with two other people and a 5-inch long lizard.
-Been COVERED with colored powder by total strangers: don't worry, there are pictures.
-Seen monkeys as big as humans just running around randomly!
-After being introduced to the Bengali specialty the "roll" (greasy bread wrapped around something, like chicken, mutton, egg, paneer...), eating one at almost every meal for three days.
-Visited all six (one for each season) of Rabindranath Tagore's houses.
I'm sure there's other stuff, but yeah, wow, that was a good trip. We went to Santiniketan, by the way, which is where the Poet (yeah, that's what they call him here) lived, for Holi. So much craziness, and I'm really glad to be home!
