Travel

Me, Eve (roomate), & Andrew in Frankfurt airport. 8am beers (hey we were jet lagged)

36 hours of traveling and we're finally here!

The route:
Kansas City--> Dallas June 28th (1.5 flight)
Dallas-->Newark, NY (Saw the New York sky line for the first time...phenomenal). June 29th (3 hr flight+ 2 hr layover)
Newark-->Frankfurt (8 hr flight + 2 hr layover+my first GERMAN beer!)
Frankfurt--> Ahmedabad (8 hr flight+Invictus+Avatar+The Rebound & Bollywood film "London Dreams"= a neck cramp)



So we arrived in Ahmedabad airport at 9pm. After customs & witnessing an airport fight between the locals, we made it to MICA. When I stepped off the plane I knew I was some place foreign. The air is thick here, much much thicker than Texas heat. It smells also. A mixture of dirt, India food, BO & cow dung. The bus ride through the city of Ahmedabad was humbling... I thought I'd seen homeless people in LA. Here there are people literally sleeping outside every 50 yards on the side of the street. Not to mention we saw a couple stray cows & camels. It was a 20 minute bus ride to the campus from the airport and it was silent, we were all shocked.
