One week In...


And not doing too badly!  As I write this I'm waiting for an overnight train that will take us to a hospital called GM Priya.  I just got off a flight that took me from Delhi south to a city called Hyderabad.  This is considered the upper part of southern India, and this is the first time I've been out of what's considered north India.  I'm interested to see what differences I can see between northern and southern culture.  That's just one of those things about India- it's so big, and has so many people that the people, food, and customs in one area can be drastically different in another area.  I don't know what I'm going to find in that regard- I may not even be far enough south to see a change, and the hospital may be in a location that is too rural for things to be much different.  I really don't know- I guess we'll find out together :D.

As I mentioned before, the last few days have been quite nice.  Rather than jumping on a plane or trying to catch a train somewhere, I was at the last hospital (Herbertpur) for 4 days.  It was nice to rest, read a little, meet some new people, and catch up with some people I had met before.  But now I'm on the move again… and I'm excited for the weeks to come.
