A little something extra
If you now scroll to the bottom of my blog you will see the list of blog entries I thought were interesting. They are in chronological order and dated, but not linked to the actual posts. Sorry about that. I'll work on that when I have the time.
I've started thinking about what its going to be like to drive when I get home. I was watching an American movie on television in a returant a couple of days ago. The movie had a driving sequence showing cars going down a road. For a moment I thought, "what the hell are they doing driving down the wrong side of the road for?", then I realized they were driving correctly for the US. Not only is it going to take a little time to get used to driving in a different lane. I'm also sure that I'll have intense moments where I assume that everyone is going to simply disregard all rules of civility on the road and attempt destroy each other with the same type of no-holds-barred mad max style of driving that is common in India.
Also, I think I'm going to sell my motorcycle in Kochi. I feel that I've reached my limit with wanting to see crazy remote areas of India, which makes having a motorcycle pointless (except for jumping buses of course). If I do this I'll be in Kochi for at least two more days.

you'd feel a little bit at home in los angeles then! john swerves erratically on purpose here just to keep other people from doing the same to him. oddly, it works. people stay away from your car if they think you're crazier than they are. especially if their car is something really nice and yours is just a beat up subaru.
