So I was told by a very wise person (my dad) that everyone gets sick when they come to India. Even all of the American students who were here with USAC for Summer Session 1 agreed that everyone gets sick.
Even after 4 weeks of travel in India... I got sick! I was up all night puking, and after that stomachache passed in 3-4 days, I got the other sort of stomach problem. The first night that all of us USAC students went out together, we went to Punjabi by Nature, a beer garden on Hosur Road that is right across the way from the Libra Hotel I was always staying in. It was either the food I had there that caused it, or the Indian food I had for lunch that gave me some sort of persisting stomach problem.
NOW I feel better, and now that I'm also in the groove of going to classes and also balancing social life, I've set my mind to making more blog posts!
A lot has happened since I first moved into USAC: I've gone shopping on Commercial street again with the other Americans, we've gone to sports bars (saw a Broncos poster, woot woot!), we went to the Nandi hills and saw some monkeys and waterfalls, my friend Beth and I went to a private club called Eclipse, we went on a long Bangalore tour, rode the brand new Metro, ate at the largest pirate-themed restaurant in India, and most importantly I've been having so much fun with my new friends!! Oh, and I've been going to classes like a good student.
To conclude this post, here's a picture of a delicious South Indian meal, complete with curry, roti, curd, veggies, buttermilk, and some fried lentils thing. We all had this buffet style on a banana leaf at a travel stop restaurant near Mysore. YUM!! (only I think this is what made me sick the second time around from an open air, unsanitary kitchen)
