Holy fish sticks! Only a few more weeks till my Asian adventure.

Been checking up on my travel packing list and it's a bit different because I won't be able to dress in traditional American dress.
No more jeans or showing any skin. Oh well, it will be a new chance to play with a new style of clothes. Also, no more eating with silverware. This might just be the perfect place :)
For more mental preparations I'm starting to read In Spite of the Gods -the Strange Rise of Modern India. It's written by an English man so we'll see how biased he will be...
Either way if this doesn't satisfy there's is whole list of recommended reads that will be fun diving into.
Before taking off to a new country, New York state was first on the menu. Relatives galore! It was hot and humid (good preparation for the months ahead).
If anyone wishes to skype/call it might be one of the last chances while we're both in the same country.
Namastē!
Very nice blog entry, Laura. I am wondering, what kind of attire can you wear while you are in India? And no silverware? I have always liked using my hands anyway. One less thing to clean in the kitchen; silverware I mean :)
