More from Amritsar

Ahhh... just had a nice bucket bath after a couple of days of roaming around in the dirt. I wanted to put up a few more pictures from the trip to Amritsar, this time they are from out and around the city, and not the golden temple. We went to some Hindu temples and gardens, walked through a couple small slum type villages were lots of little kids wanted to say hi. we walked across a bridge that went over some railroad tracks, and about 30ft across it we see a sign that says: Warning-Electric Fence 25,000 volts!! We safely made it across, but it certainly was a hair-raising experience (pun intended).

yes, yes it is what you think it is. a common sight in india. 

thats your big boy....

in other news.... 

i have started some classes already, one fluid dynamics math class and a hindi language class. i am supposed to go to one more math class, and it is supposed to start tomorrow i think (it was actually supposed to start last week sometime but....). now i am supposed to go to fluid dynamics every week, tues through friday from 1145am-1245pm... now class usually starts around noon and gets out at 1230, and we are now in the 3rd week of instruction, but have already had 5 class cancelations, which is common i guess. its really frustrating when i am trying to rush to class by taking a 40 rupee auto ride and then show up and class be canceled. ya 40 rupee is not a lot, but that can buy me dinner instead later. i think i have found the right trick to save money though. it is about 1.3 kilometers from my house to the metro station, and they have pre paid autos that run up and down to the metro for only 5 rupee, so if i take that to the metro, its only a 15 minute walk there to campus, which is how long the longer auto takes anyway because of traffic. so i think i am set on saving 35 rupees a day to get to class, which is awesome!! now i can get some good grub.
