One Week in India

So for the last two days now we have been in Sikar to begin our teaching! Unfortunately we haven't been able to post any pictures or videos yet but we do have some amazing ones. I am dying to show you some Music in the Park, Indian snake charming and the traffic. The traffic is still one thing I cannot get over. It is unreal, bumper to bumper, on the horn constantly, all over the road, cows pigs dogs camels everywhere. It is unreal and true chaos but so exciting and intriguing. But for now we'd just like to update you on some of our goings ons as of late.

Our stay in Jaipur was busy and hectic without a moment to relax and only now have we been able to reflect. But upon our arrival there from Delhi on thursday night, we were greeted at the train station by a rickshaw driver who promised us he was not out to get us. That this wasn't Delhi or Agra. He shall be known as the Great Alibaba. He took us all around, knew perfect english and was just a really dope guy. We plan on heading back to Jaipur this weekend to visit him as he has invited us for dinner at his home with his family and his wife (whom he does not like) and hopefully show us a night on the town. He is a Muslim, but part of the "New-Generation" of Muslims, as he told us he likes to drink and smoke, particularly from the top of the hill near the Tiger Gate at the mosque.

We also met our volunteer co-ordinator Vinod, who is the strangesssst man I have ever met and thought Michael Jackson was from Ukraine.

Anyways, we have a party to attend to... One of the other volunteers, Cor (his name), described by cass as a "stringbean, beanpole lanky franky weirdo Dutchman" um...its his birthday tonight and there's a party with cake and Kingfisher and delish food and dancing and a singer has been hired! haha. Expect pictures and videos soon and we'll share some more about our whacky time in Jaipur (including this crazy Folk Fest-meets-themepark-meets India thing we attended). Oh and the kids here and at the school are unbelievably cute and bright and it should bring for an interesting six weeks. okkk seeeyaaa
