I got to sit next to some characters on the bus. One man asked me my name and then told me his was Bond. James Bond. Then I got to sit next to two little girls who smiled and giggled with me. We tried to talk, but I ended up just entertaining them with my camera.
After figuring out the transportation system, we went to see a Hindi movie called Morning Walk. It was a romantic dramady with lots of song and dance. The movie theater we went to was niiice. There were cushy velvet seats and no rubble on the floor, despite everyone leaving their trash at the end of the show. I've rarely seen such a nice cinema in America. I don't think I've ever seen so much security though: five checks on the way in.
We also went to a swanky restaurant, heavy on the swank. I met a Catalan woman on the plane who told me that at first glance, India isn't nice because the government hasn't finished completing efficient, clean roads and buildings everywhere. However, she said, India is nicer than much of the rest of the world when you look at privately owned and cared for facilities.
I think she was on to something.

I like the term swanky when describing the food, but I bet your father and I would like a more detailed description...just out of curiosity. What is swanky Indian food anyway?
Haha, swanky was general for the restaurant; although I suppose the food was fancier naan and rice with more appetizers. We also had dark chocolate cake.
You can tell Dad that if he wants more detail he can come to India and see for himself. ;)
