INDIARRHOEA?

I'm leaving for India this weekend for a 6 week electives. I've bought plenty of dioralyte and loperamide and some magical insect repellants; Dennis and I have a competition going on to see who is going to get diarrhoea first and who will get shortchanged more. The winner will of course automatically be the loser. T_T Sometimes you wish you hadn't read all the horrible stories on the net and you pray things won't be as bad when you get there.

I feel a bit wrong to be rather judgmental. I am from a third world country and I don't exactly pile on dioralyte and loperamide before going home. But this is unknown territory, I'm going to be good and be prepared instead. As prepared as possible; I can't really make myself look like a local (don't fancy a reverse Michael Jackson) and am after all too old to learn the language now.

Nah, more like after the exam, my brains... slow. Tak jalan.

Possibly no internet for the next 7 weeks, no phone connection, no TV or iPlayer, no Wii, no Guitar Hero, no iPhone games, no manga, no Starbucks, no Undergrounds. Hm. Like going back to my childhood except if I throw a tantrum now I'll probably end up in a mental health institution.

Not that I ever really did throw tantrums. With 5 brothers and sister, I could never get a turn and it never really worked with my parents.

So yes, 7 weeks in India. Nothing but to grow up/old and loads of sight-seeing (hopefully) and revision.

Oh my God.
