So I have a mental backlog of about a dozen posts and have been spending very little time online because, well, I've been getting acclimated to India.
Today I thought I'd keep it light and share a few fun differences about everyday life here versus America. None of these are a big deal.
 |
| this is a cell phone charger... |
 |
| which plugs into an outlet like this. That switch turns the outlet on and off. |
 |
| this is a 100 rupee bill. It is roughly the equivalent of 2 dollars. |
 |
| Okay, this is my super confusing shower. It has about 6 knobs and doesn't like to shut off when I am done. It is not seperated into a stall or tub and has no curtain so when you shower the whole bathroom gets wet. |
 |
| This is my "geezer". It is the hot water heater for my bathroom, which I have to turn on ten to fifteen minutes prior to showering and which only holds a small amount of hot water. I am getting the hang of it, I had a decently warm and lengthy shower last night. |
 |
| This looks like an air freshener but is actually sort of like a room sized Off! fan which repels mosquitos. |
 |
| This is a door key. There are also two additional latches on all outside doors. |
 |
| And lastly, this maybe my favorite. Milk comes in half liter bags! |
So those are some fun, everyday differences!
I am very happy and in love. More to come!
