I've just arrived in Hyderabad twelve hours ago, and it already looks like this is going to be fun. The plane rides showed me many things including the movie "He's just not into you" which actually kind of prolonged the flight. I kept meeting people who hung out and helped me in all the airports. It seemed like everyone and their mother were heading to India (or Frankfurt) from Louisville. And so, two days (in date, not time) after I left, I arrived.
This morning some other CIEE students and I went to explore the campus. I saw a curly horned cow with a heron sitting on top of it. That struck me as awesome. The buildings look very nice, and on the way back, we passed a school of children. They asked us to play throw ball with them. It was really fun. I had never played. Two teams stand on either side of a volleyball net and hurl the ball to the other side. If it hits the ground, the other team scores. My team won, but definitely not because of my own athleticism. Then the kids asked us to sing them a song and teach them a dance. We sang some Jackson 5 and some Smash Mouth and then they sang some songs in Hindi as well as some church songs. Everybody could disco. The kids all had awesome names that I had trouble pronouncing. They said we could come back and play with them another day.
All in all, a good first twelve hours.
Today's Meal--breakfast (oatmeal/banana better than camp food) and airline food (also better than camp food)
Today's Deal--sweet throw down sport session with school kids
Today's Reel--sorry I didn't take a picture yet.

I bet you miss Wright food court.
Haha, a little, but only because of our magical conversations and mystical pizza consumption.
"...we passed a school of children".
Emily, this is why I love you.
