Today I had the most amazing hotel breakfast ever. The hotel served fresh orange and lechia juice, chicken sausages, porridge, cereal, a bean dish with tomatoes sauce that was really delicious, a potatoes curry dish, a rice-potatoes casserole type dish, spicy soup, and fresh fruit! I had everything except cereal and the chicken! It was so good. Then Two other people and I went sightseeing around our hotel.
We decided to go to a shopping mall, just to see what it was like. The walk there was quite eventful; the street we were walking down was shared by cars, mopeds, motorcycles, and people. Cars were constantly honking for us to watch out. Upon arriving at the mall, we went into a music store. When we checked out the international sections the music was: Elvis, Jimmy Hendrix, MJ, Kenny G, Taylor Swift, and Madonna. These are the musicians/artist that appear to represent the USA! We also went to a beautiful Sari store.
We went back to the hotel to get directions to an outdoor market. Back at the hotel we met up with a few other IES students that had arrived, and all of us went to the market. The market was amazing, beautiful things were for sale all over the place. There were many stray dogs (and I didn’t even pet a single one!) A man and woman came over to me and tried to take a picture with me but I said no. My friends and I walked around for a bit more and then took a taxi home. I would write more but I think jetlag has just about gotten the best of me!
P.s. I just took a cold-water shower in the hotel! I’m so proud of myself! Next trip: Africa!!!
Adieu!
