Day 4:

Spent literally all day at the FRRO office trying to register with the government, only to be told that we were missing some forms and have to come back. So onto a more interesting topic…

It seems like in America we define so many things by appearance. There’s a certain “look” to wealth and a certain “look” to poverty. And the majority of the time it seems like people are influenced by these looks and pressured into following a specific standard. But here in India it’s completely different….. trash everywhere, cows that get right-of-way in the road, pollution, noise, poverty, wealth…. All right next to each other. The interesting part is that the people seem completely unaffected by it all. In America, people would be appalled with the trash or by having to ride a noisy rickshaw through tons of traffic and pollution. But here, people grow up in this environment and really just seem unfazed by it all.

Also fun fact about India: the steering wheel is on the right side of all cars!
