tail end of jaipur.

so just one more weekend here in the pink city. i went and got my hair cut this morning to even out the back, and happened to run into one of the MSID staff on his motorcycle, so i hitched a ride to school (my first indian motorcycle experience, and an experience i think everyone needs, i was holding on to that back bar with my life). then today the class went to see a bollywood movie about a kid with dyslexia, 'Taare Zameen Par'. it was predictable, but still a tear jerker (not that that takes much, i don't know if mom remembers watching bridge to terabithia with me, never again) movies here are very different, usually between 3 and 4 hours long, always with an intermission, always with singing and dancing, and assigned seating (which they seam to enforce even when the theatre is nearly empty). No travel plans this weekend, just packing and getting some last minute stuff. It's officially hot now, 90's in the sun. i'm going to try to go get some cheap indian clothes from the old city tomorrow because i don't have anything light enough for the extreme temperatures coming my way.

so i did a packing run through last night, and realized i can fit 6 weeks worth of life into 40 liters. i'm like a hermit crab.
