How come we don't post on this anymore?
So it was Aaron's great idea to post on this once in a while, and I am saying we keep it up. Just because I went to Japan doesn't mean we can't keep in contact eh? So I'm doing good, there is something that happened but i don't want to post on it, just in case the person who I would be talking about searches online. That kind of defeats the whole purpose of this doesn't it? Oh well.
India is good. Everybody here keeps on asking me when my shadi is going to be. So, what is shadi - nothing less than the immensely important human tradition of marriage. It's gotten to the point that I'm thinking, yeah, when is my shadi going to be? Actually guys, I am kind of not so against it anymore. i.e., I think I'm ready. Hahah, craziness. But I'm where I want to be mentally in life (i.e. after two years in Japan) and pretty happy with...life. Things are good.
Other than that, I'm just chilling, studying, hanging out a little bit too much with family, though they are great, I am feeling the itch to do some work, I don't work, and after having a job, especially in Japan where everyone works so hard, I am feeling pretty lazy. So many Indians want to leave India, my cousin really to leave. But it's super hard, something like a 10 year wait even if somebody sponsors you from abroad.
India is beautiful when it's cool. I have yet to travel around but I am going to start doing so. I wish India was a bit more like Japan, or maybe I should say, they rest of the world where there are rules and people follow them, but no, there really aren't. I like it here but man is it stressful to get the necessary information when everybody might be lying to you. Yesterday, I went to exchange yen for rupees, and the rate was 50 rupees for 100 yen (it's just been going ridiculously up recently). So I did that but afterwards I went to check and pretended I was stupid by going to different stores and asking for the rate. I went to this one official looking office which had a western union sign on it, the dude tried to tell me 35 rupees for 100 yen. I felt like cutting his head off. I called him out on it by screaming at him, at least he had some look of shame on his face.
but other than that things are good : ) it's all about who you meet, I've had shopkeepers be very fair and give me discounts and other's try and screw me. I just wish there wasn't such a big informal economy.
aiight, post, I wanna know how you guys are doing.
later!
