i woke up at 6 left at 6:35 and walked to mother Teresa's. we eat a piece of white bread and have chi and a banana. then they all say a prayer and sing a small song. then everyone splits up in to groups and we all head off to the homes we are working in. im working at prem don. i get on a bus that's filled to the max.. i mean people are hanging out the sides.. its 6 rupees i think maybe 8? we get to prem don and wash laundry for a few hours. once all of its done we have a chi and cracker brake ,once there was hard boiled egg... i like to eat fast then go over to a bird cage of to the side and try to sound like the birds in there.. there is one cage that has 2 greenish birds that chase one another around and around. the other cage has a few small speedy birds that never hold still. they are cute.
after brake i go and paint some of the woman's nails with pink polish before lunch.
they have write rice dall and maybe fish or something. and water. we help feed. then clean up dishes and help the woman get to there beds. after they are all laying down i some times sing, maybe swing low..
i go outside and start washing dishes with other volunteers... once done we get our things and leave prem don.
we have to find maybe an auto rickshaw to take us home.. 8 or 10 rupees.. today it was 10 :(
the driving here is really scary and fast.. they seem to really have to know what they are doing though not to kill us all... u kinda just have to breath and not think to much about it..
today i got a rickshaw with Johnnie and his friend....im forgetting his name but ill get it. (its hard for me to remember so many names all the time)
we found some lunch down the street from sudder.. it was rice dall and potatoes there was more but it was to spicy for me.
i have been being really careful about eating not so spicy so as to not get sick or anything.. getting is sick is such a waits of time and i dont feel like it...
after lunch i went back to Gracie and i 's room to go potty. then headed of to find the voafone shop.. im trying to buy a phone here so when em gets here we dont have to worry to much about all that. i found a nokia phone for 1,188 r with a 78r sim card. its the best deal iv found so far, so i think tomorrow i will go back and buy one.. its good not to buy till later for me cuz alot of times you turn around and see it for cheaper somewhere elce...
my hands feel really dirty from this key board..ew
so now i am sitting in the upper right hand corner of the Internet cafe i like using because it has web cam and a mic for skyping...tonight no is on, its to late for you at home.. :( Internet here costs 15r and hour and 10r for 1/2 hour. or next door if you want yfi its 25r and hour..i like it here because its less noisy that the outside cafe. this shop also has nice clothes to look at if you need to wait..
after i am dont here i will go back to my room and get out of these dirty clothes and read my book, the host. and then who knows what.
im really excited for em to get here and for traveling more in India then going to Thailand! i really wounder what India and traveling will be like for her and us together.. i think it will be really fun.
i have been missing home a lot but i am doing really good right now. trying to enjoy right now so i don't kick myself in 2 months when I'm home wishing i was still traveling:)
well I'm going to go wash my hands now. sorry there is no photo with this one. i haven't been taking it out of the room alot.. i will though before i leave sudder st. i will miss this place someday I'm sure.
OK love
yum
