About Me

My photo
Im on foreign exchange for one year in Pune India. It's been an interesting transition going from my little town of 4,800 to this hot city of 5 million plus. Everyday is a new adventure here, so I'll try and keep you up to snuff on the latest rickshaw rides and elephant baths.... yes I bathed an elephant.

Ravi kaka


There really isn't too much I can't tell you about Ravi kaka... well there is a whole lot, but you just can't truely know him without meeting him face to face.

Trip to Mumbai


We (the exchange students and Ravi kaka) went to Mumbai for 2 days in February. We saw the Gateway to India, which was built to welcome the Queen of England to India during the British rule over India. We also went to a planetarium where we watched an entire star and constellation program in Hindi and a children's science museum. We took a long ferry to a small island where there are ancient caves with huge elephants carved into the rock. I just had to take the word of the few that went, most of us didn't want to pay the 250 rupees that they charge foreigners... as opposed to the 10 I think that it was for Indians.
