(Jan. 9) So we had been settling in our internet-free Indian homes for a few days when we were rudely interrupted by this whole "school" thing. We'll come back to transportation, but skipping ahead to school: we now attend the fine institution of St. Xavier's College on Park Street in Kolkata. After a mess of paperwork, we skipped off to an extensive orientation including a reunion with Xavier students (or "Xavarians" if you will) who visited MN, chats with the principal, and a documentary of the school's history that featured a piano version of Walking In Memphis.
We had a terribly fancy dinner afterwards in which we were tricked into thinking we were the special guests until these students from Manitoba (imagine that said with all the scorn in my being) came in with traditional elegant Indian dress while we were wearing jeans and t-shirts. Whatever. I ate so much dessert I almost threw up and it was awesome.
