some random musings.

- did you know that there is McDelivery (McDonald's delivery) in India? But still no hamburgers made out of beef...
- postal stamps in India are not self-adhesive. You have to use glue to put them on letters.
- Ryan's right knee is really resistant to my own brand of physiotherapy, and it kills me. The left one is doing fantastically.
- "chai" in Hindi (or maybe in India in general) means "tea." If you ask for chai, they will show you the tea menu. The spiced tea that we all know as chai is actually called Masala Garam. Consider yourself forewarned.
- it is smart to speak to a stranger about your crazy situation every once in a while because you can learn some interesting things and synthesize and process your emotions. It is particularly curious when that stranger is a journalist from the Toronto Star.
- Books in India are super cheap. I didn't realize that books were going to be my biggest weakness down here (but I probably should have!)
- according to Ayurveda, you should turn the temperature of the water down before you turn the faucet on your head or your feet in the shower. This is why the "steam room" is actually a box you sit in with your head and feet outside. It is NOT simply comical. There is a good reason.
- there is no traffic in the world like traffic in Delhi. Cars, bikes, rickshaws, and motorcycles are going in every direction, and horns are blaring incessantly. There is often no room to walk in between the cars to cross the street, particularly for Ryan whose wheelchair is a bit wider than the average person. Please see attached video and photos.
- BBQ sauce in India (at least at Nutech Mediworld) is actually pretty good.
- Somehow, Ryan, Erin and I are able to piss away entire days doing very little.
