| I spent December traveling through in India. I was officially cultural shocked |
| I bounced around from city to city on overnight trains and buses. I would spend a couple three days in one place and move on. The route was this: Madurai to Bangalore to Mysore to Hyderabad to Pune to Bombay to Ahemdabad to Udaipur to Jaipur back to Madurai via a New Year's in the former French colony of Pondicherry. |
| The differences between where I've lived in the US and Madurai are fairly substantial, but I've always had friends around who can speak a language I can speak, or at least people who speak English, or will tolerate my Tamil, or at rockbottom, I always have my walkman. |
| Travelling alone was rough. I got sick. It was cold. And to top it all off a couple weeks into the trip my walkman fell from the upper birth of a second-class three-tier sleeper on the train and busted. But, I got to see some amazing/amusing sights, meet some interesting people, and learn about more about my only area of expertise, me. |
| I also took lots of pictures. I hope you enjoy. |
