no water...

Woke up early again, feeling ok. I got to chat on skype with Jack, Mom, Gemma and Wendy. So nice!

Sam and I headed out on our own today to meet Raj and get a heads up on what we'll be doing as volunteers. We tried to bargain with several rickshaw drivers, until one finally said he'd go the distance and put up the metre. The rest of them were trying to charge us far too much. They think we're these white chumps! We showed them!

It took half an hour to drive 6km. That's how insane the traffic is. Raj and Nandoo met us at one point, and we hopped on their motorbikes and drove the rest of the way. First time on a motorbike, not so bad!

The meeting went well, and it was great to chat with the guys. I started feeling tired, so we headed home, and finished watching Eat, Pray, Love-- a must watch on this trip.

I took a whole bunch of pictures today; mainly of the traffic, but I caught a couple cows, some dogs and even a chicken! I know it's a major city and I know I have access to "anything", but it's still so different. The food you get here is so different-- a warning against Indian honey nut cheerios. I'm still adjusting. Sam and I are trying to stay awake today. Oh, and we're waiting for water to arrive. We're running low, and we can't drink it out of the taps, so we hope to get some soon! Or else we'll have to venture out into the traffic again. Once is really enough for today!
