Today Shalini met me at the hotel, and we went to a place called an Indian Haat. Basically they’re booths outside that people sell their products (a lot of times handmade) from. We didn’t stay long since as soon as we visited a few booths, the heat got to us (well, mostly me). The heat was horrible. It had rained earlier in the day, so you’d think it would be cooler, but it was just really hot and humid. Got some good gifts, though! 
After the Indian Haat, we met Pragya at a mall nearby called Shoppers Stop. We started in a department store there, then looked at the smaller stores. One of the food stands in the mall is a corn stand. They enjoyed that a lot. We also had McDonalds there. They don’t actually sell burgers there. It was all chicken or vegetarian. I got to see a lot of ethnic clothing that they wear. Really cool.
We then took a rickshaw to Cannaught Place. I had read about this online and couldn’t wait to go. However, when we got there, it wasn’t as great as I’d hoped. They were yelling at me the whole time trying to get me to buy stuff. Kids were running up to me and asking me to buy stuff from them. We went to a few places, then we went to an Indian restaurant across the street. It had airconditioning so I was happy! I had a milkshake, and Pragya and Shalini ordered this food called idly. Idly is basically rice and lentils smooshed into little “bread” patties. You then dip the patties in different flavors of chutney. I liked them plain.
I bought a lot of stuff, but didn’t spend that much money. Always good. Since we are all used to sleeping during the day, we were pretty exhausted by the time we got back to the hotel. I tried to stay awake, but didn’t make it an hour. I took a few hours nap, but I made myself get up in order to get back on the night schedule for tonight. (It’s monday morning here right now even though it’s only 2:15pm on Sunday at home).
4 more days till I go home! I have enjoyed my time here, especially how nice and fun the team I work with has been. But there’s no place like home.
I’m going to watch some hulu now. Have a great day/night!
