Day 8:

Whenever I told people I was going to India, they all told me to expect to get sick. And after a week of trying all sorts of food and feeling great, I must have eaten something bad because I’ve spent the last 24 hours feeling pretty crappy. It’s also kind of ironic because I didn’t even eat Indian food yesterday, we just made American food here at the suites! But luckily we’ve had time to just hang out and I’m feeling much better after a 5 hour nap this afternoon!

Also on the topic of food, we had to make a list of all the different types of dishes just so we would know what to order. Just so I won’t forget, here it is:

Roti/chapatti- bread

Parathas- stuffed roti

Panir- dish with cheese

Biriyani- dish with rice

Masala- spices

Aloo gobi- veg sauce

Ghee- butter

Dosa- crepe-like bread

Dal- lental dish

Chutney- type of sauce/dip

Idli- rice cake
