quick update

Text written in: English


Class was short yesterday.  We were given a long lunch break, during which Aradhna took us to a bakery for a lught lunch, then to Pantaloons for shopping.  We all want to go back; there is a nice grocery store there as well as clothes.  Ig my luggage doesn't arrive soon, I will have to start buying.  After class, Carol and I went to the nearby internet cafe for an hour or so.  At 4:00 we had youga with an instructor who comes to the school.  I enjoyed it, surprisingly. 

We are all feeling much more confortable in the city.  We have encountered very few beggars and no hassling.  The city is just so incredibly dirty; respiratory problems are apparently common. 

The three of us have all had rough starts.  I've lost my luggage, Carol has been sick since arriving, and Majella lost a credit card.  Regardless, we are all staying positive and I'm loving it here.  I'm about to eat breakfast: four pieces of toast with coarse sugar, 2 boiled eggs, a banana, and mango juice.
