After 18 hours of flying I have arrived in Hyderabad! My cousin Sara has been in Beijing for a few days and is flying in later this morning so her concert pianist friend Timothy picked me up at the airport. Today's a big day -- it's Sara's birthday so we're going to be getting all the fabulous things ready for the extravaganza!
Couple things:
- I may start only flying British Airways if only for the accents and generous wine servings.
- Malatrone makes me so thirsty it's not even funny.
- Drank hotel water at 7:30am... no diarrhea yet.
- Every Hyderabadi I've met so far hugs instead of shaking hands... very cool.
- It's 109 degrees right now... enough said.
- I've taken two pictures: first of the H1N1 screening at the airport. I went through and then asked to take pictures of the masked people :) -- But my auto focus was off and it was 4am....so it's blurry...sad. I'll have to try again next time!
...the second photo was my first feral dog sighting!
I'm not sure what to think as I've only seen the city from the drive home and inside a nice hotel while getting coffee, so but I'll definitely post more as I start to get a better sense of the area! So far... brilliant!
