The staff at the apartment have been very helpful and accomodating. The manager went out of his way to help me get set up with a direct wired internet connection. The kitchen staff are making wonderful food, and going out of the way to make items at our request.The staff also provided me with tea to help me stay up in the night.I have been going out for frequent walks outside since it gets quite boring staying in the room. Now that is one thing I don't enjoy very much. Traffic is heavy, crossing roads is painful, the dustiness is bothersome, and garbage is liberally strewn on the sidewalk.
But the charm of India -- especially when you live in a city -- is not in the environs, but in the
people. We went for breakfast this morning, and met, for the first time, the new people who have moved in. Unlike in America where I can't imagine saying more than a superficial hello -- at best -- it was so easy to fall into a fun and pleasant conversation. This is why India is so special to me.
