This post is the same as the one you would get from mi blog... btw... thanks to shu and ame for msn-ing me... and also to xx who attempted to msn mi...

hey thanks to all who have been asking how i'm doing over here, its relly sweet to hear that when I am all alone in India. Well not very alone.. hehehehe.

Had chapati making lessons yesterday. It was fun, its hard to make it really round, but allison was good at it. If she dont excel in Chem Eng, she can always open a chapati shop in the US. It was great interacting with the ladies who made our meal, they were very motherly and laughed a lot. Even though there was a language barrier, we managed to laugh through it.
After our chapati lesson, we took a bus down to Linking road for shopping. Yup you might think I am crazy to take a bus, but it was very safe, the guys would avoid the ladies. It was a little crowded though, being short I could only hold on to Allison for support. For India buses, one could only board from the back and alight at the front. A bus conductor would stand at the back and collect the fare from you and issue u a ticket. After recieving the ticket, one is allowed to walk pass him and attempt to move to the front of the bus. Thank God we met this really kind lady on the bus, who was getting down at the same place as us. Had the chance to sit next to her and got a little conversation going. She was really friendly and recommended me food to eat and places to visit.Upon reaching Linking road, we saw the rows of shops at the side of the street. They mainly sold shoes, traditional tops and bags. It was similar to Fashion street but offered more variety.

Today, we registered for our subjects and settled payments for the hostel. Yup we have been staying and eating for free.... hehehe. Allison and I spent the rest of day walking round school and getting her mobile. We took things slow today, as its school day tomorrow. Pau and Jeannie headed downtown and also to Juhu beach. Guess Allison and I would catch that another day. Even though Allison and I spent the day in school, it was rewarding as we made 3 new friends. Since allsion got her mobile, we took down their numbers. They were very sweet as they offered to show us around and bring us to the south of India. One even open up her house to us.

Not sure if I have mentioned it before, but toilet papers are not provided over here!! So we got to get our own, and it cost SGD 4.50 for a roll of toilet paper.
