Ok, well not exactly two hours. But its about 2 hours before I leave for the airport, which is close enough!
Exciting stuff.
Met up with Shazy, MeicheeLiew & Shanta just now for some breakfast (My last laksa for a looong time!). Shazzy had a lot of great advice to give having just come back from India herself. Main things to note:
1. Book hotels in advance and have them pick you up from the train station.
2. Always pretend that you have a boyfriend so you dont get harassed.
3. Brush teeth with mineral water
ok. all set!

ReplyDeleteGooo Valerie! I'm very excited about your adventure. Have fun, make good decisions, remember safety first, and stay away from large crowds. I think that's some of the things your Dad would want me to say. Other then take lots of pictures and fall madly in love with someone while there. Live life to the fullest! Uncle K.
ReplyDeleteval, omg india?! this is really exciting news. which part(s) are you going to? i was over there for a month in december and did the northern region with one other girl. you're gonna have one of the most amazing experiences in life!
ReplyDeleteto add to that list of things:
* separate your cash and hide it in several places. under shoe soles, different compartments in different bags, etc.
* avoid eating uncooked food. so that includes salads, food that's garnished with tomatoes/cucumber because chances are they've been washed under regular tap water. also stick to fruits that can be peeled.

Hey Val -- you must be in India by now!!!! I'm so excited for you, already miss you lah, and can't wait to see your first India photo! Just finished watching a marathon 3+ hour long Hindi movie - Kuch, Kuch something or other - with Tia, Suk, Joanne from Uganda, Ann from Kenya and Reggie. I guess we were with you in spirit as you begin your great India journey :) much love, A.Theresa
