(Jan. 5) Wooo wooo wooooo CALCUTTA!
After a rather bumpy flight in both the take off and landing (Daddy, I understand what you were saying about seeing Indians running off the plane and vomiting on the tarmac), we are finally HERE! First impressions: Kolkata looks WAY more modern than Delhi. More condensed with bigger buildings, it looks like an American city instead of just continual development and breakdown like we've seen in all the cities before. While I didn't see any speed limits on the big roads, there were many official road signs offering quasi-inspirational safety messages, like "Take Your Time, Not Your Life" "Time is Money, but Life is Precious" "No Hurry, No Worry" and so on.
Our hotel, however, is a little ridiculous, at least compared to the past few we've been in.
Our "triple"... aka our '70s inspired room with two twin beds pushed together and three pillows. Thought they could pull the wool over our eyes, eh?
Meeting of the moms tomorrow. Gotta rest up.
