Sagar: The Life and Times of Us


Hey everyone,
So we are getting many things done here...unfortunately not many of them have to do with our project and instead they are more so involved with getting ourselves settled in. Today we went to Big Bazaar (the Indian version of Walmart) and bought some good stuff. I am proud to say I bought an immersion water heater. You can see below in Mairin's post that her shower only gives her cold water. All I say is that at least she has a shower. Jeff and I are stuck with a bucket...and a smaller bucket. Hopefully this heater doesn't melt anything and we get some warm water. I'd have to say the highlight of our trip was soon after settling into our dorm (which Jeff noted resembles an American prison in many ways: all concrete, the doors can be locked from the outside, and everything including the cots is made of grimy metal) we decided to go on a search for Mairin. We went into the office and found someone who would take us to get her. As we walked out the door he pulled out his keys and sat on his bike. Jeff and I immediately looked at each other and realized we would be sitting back to back to back on a scooter. As we turned onto the main street holding our breaths that we didn't tip over or hit a cow, we saw Mairin and although I expected to see her laugh at the sight of me holding onto Jeff's waist and Jeff holding onto the waist of a man he had never met before, she simply sent an expressionless stare of shock back at us before she cracked a smile. Jeff is about to post a plethora of awesome pictures so stay updated. Also I know we were planning on uploading video however it looks like youtube is blocked on our internet server...
