This is from the beggining of my trip, I guess I forgot to post it so here it is.
London was lots of fun! My sister and I were just getting over our jetlag so it was a little bit harder there. We went and saw tons of stuff. I had already been there so it was nice to go back.
Dublin amazing. The town was a lot of fun. It was cheaper than London so that was good and we were over our jetlag a little bit so that was good too. We went on a bus tour out into the country side and it was absolutly beautiful. We went to this old monistary grounds and it so peaceful and clam. It was so green. We wanted to go and listen to music and so we went to a musical pub crawl and it was a lot of fun to see people play. It is crazy becuase its not like bands go and play. People come with thier intruments and they may have never met and they teach each other songs just by ear. Another thing that is different is that gueniss is the cheapest beer you can buy. I guess it makes sense though.
Paris was alright. I dont really like it so I am a little bit biased. We walked around a lot saw all the big things. We went to parks alot. That is one thing that I dont like about the us there are no parks. In europe people go to the park for lunch or to relax and read a book. Its fun to go and people watch that was the best thing.
India is so different. We got in at midnight and we had to wait in like four lines to get though the airport. There were so many people in the airport it was crazy. The first sad thing I saw was on the way home. My mom told me about it but it is so different seeing it for yourself. There are tons and tons of homeless street dogs. They are so skinny and digging though the trash for food.
We went to a coffee morning with my mom. Its like this group for women who come here from over seas they get together and talk. It was fun to meet her friends. One of them is from south aftrica and she is hilarious.
Out in the streets it is really sad because people are so poor. There is trash all over. there are tons of animals too. there are cows all over the place just hanging out. Some of them are owned and others are not. They are so thin.
Trafic is nuts. Imagine the worst trafic you have ever been in and then imagine there is only half of the space between the cars if that. There are tons of motorcycles all over the place.
We went to get a saltwar kamis made. there was so much stuff and you would pull everything out and look at it. By the time we decided what we wanted there was probably a huge pile of clothes on the counter. Then he measured you. For our outfit it was about 25 dollars and it was specifically for you.
