Taj and Sagar go to the Dhobiwalla...

So today Sagar realized he was out of shirts and socks to wear.  Hence we took a trip to the dhobiwalla.  A dhobiwalla is a "washerman"...or woman.  We had a good time walking down a dirt path to the more "authentic" part of Hubli, dodging massive cows with rather large horns.  It is much less commercial around there and seems more like the India I remember from previous trips.

We met with one of the doctors here who is going to help us do research, and the meeting went well.  There were a few minor adjustments that need to be made to the materials we made yesterday, and we took care of that today.  We also got to meet a couple of residents in maxillofacial surgery, and learned that during their internship year they worked from about 9am to 3pm.  I'm seriously thinking about doing my residency in India now.

While waiting for the surgeon to come out of the OR, Sagar, Crystal and I decided to go get some food.  It was the first time we ate at a street side restaurant since we've been here. Hopefully everything works out ok, or we will be fully acquainted with the Indian plumbing system in the coming days.

Since we have worked so hard in the past couple of days, we are going to enjoy ourselves tonight and splurge a little bit...Pizza Hut it is!
