More Indian facts!
So i spent my first night in the new place. The only complaint is my curtains aren't dark enough and dont really block out the sun enough, so that will affect my sleeping in :)

Otherwise its starting to come together, still a few outstanding items (Desk/chair, extra seat, Internet/TV), but by this weekend should be good. Even had a washing machine installed today, wasnt expecting that!

I had a bit of a cultural faux pas yesterday when the maid showed up but I didnt have any cleaning supplies for her. She doesnt speak any english (except when she saw a picture of Jen in my room and said "Wife?" lol), her local language is Bengali and my driver is Hindi...its a great language mix lol

In my kitchen i have an "Indian Air Conditioner" which is basically this massive fan and a water tank below..it was making a funny noise cause it had no water left in it....

For Christian's in India, newborn babies aren't named until they are baptized...talk about just being a number :)

I love these kinds of stories. What, you have to give your maid cleaning supplies? ;-)

Wife? LOL!

LOL @ wifey. So does the air conditioner actually do anything to keep the room cool? And where are our pictures of the new place?

Actually its really nice...its like those "Misting" machines at amusement parks. I just have to remember to fill it with water every once in awhile...okies maybe not me, but the maid, but you get the idea :P

LOL I love that you have a maid. Between your maid and chauffeur, do you actually have to do anything yourself? Does someone dress you in the morning? *grins* + *jealousy*
