back from india

I got back from India on Friday and it was a delicious experience. The origin of Indian food is, of course, India. Traveling alone was unpleasant and I found out that I hate Germany (see Lufthansa Airlines, the German Language and smoking in airports and inadequate numbers of toilets). But since I was alone, I got in on some of the family's secrets and tribulations. I didn't travel much around the country like I did last time when I was with my family, which really helped my face stay somewhat clear and allowed for more shopping days. I started writing a faux-memoir/diary entry while I was there, sort of just to help myself grasp some things about my extended family. It's entitled "My Family is Incestuous!?! and Other Tales from my Solo Voyage to India". All I have to say is that one can experience great moments of clarity while on an overnight train. Other points of interest are that all of John Mayer's albums put me to sleep and the Indian definition of morning does not include 9am.
