I like sarees

Sorry my last post is small. I wrote it at work.... I'm writing this one at work too but the woman who's in charge of me is in another city sooo... whatevs.

I like India a lot. Theresa's bf has been lovely and hooked me up staying in his friend's apartment. I was only supposed to be there a few days but this friend has offered that I stay there the whole time I'm in Delhi. I don't know... I feel kinda awkward accepting that. I found another nice, cheap, safe, place to stay but am kinda inclined to graciously accept the offer to live in Tara. He's in town now but he travels a lot so I'm usually in the place alone. Scary at first but it's a gated apartment, the neighbor looks out for me, there's a woman who comes to cook every day so it actually might be the safest I'll ever be in India. I really like it.

Alas I have so many bug bites I look like I have chicken pox. Not sexy.

This past weekend I went to a party on this gorgeous "farm" (more like what we would think of as a "plantation" minus the slaves.). I met a girl and her boyfriend and we hung out most of the night. I didn't want to take a cab alone that late so I asked if I could stay with them. No problem.

We went out to Gurgaon (like an industrial suburb), I stayed the night and in the morning we went to her friend's mother's house where her sister fed us all and we chilled until night. Then Vijay-ji (friend's dad) drove me home because he had to go by fish in the city anyway. He asked where I was staying and I said, "Tara apartments in Alaknanda"
"Dera?"
"No, Tara."
"Dera? Like Dehra Dun?"
"No, Tara... like... umm... Tandoori."

Oh man he thought this was funny. I think I'm going to go hang out with them for Diwali.

In other news, Ban (I'm staying in his place) took me to a nice place for dinner and I got the runs... oops.

Anyone seen Body of Lies? Anyone else think it was funny?
