I wanted McDonalds and Burger King. I was led by TV ads into believing that shit tasted good! I wish to God I would have realized how delicious my mom's cooking was. But as Mark Twain said, "It's too bad youth is wasted on the young." Now I never eat that shit. The only places I eat cheeseburgers are nice restaurants that specialize in them.

Hahaha... ;-) PS: hope your ass is feeling better, really! <strong>Justin: </strong>was that book made into a movie?

It was a fun read with your nicely rendered imagery. I admire your perseverance and your ability to remember such detail. It was kinda cool of your folks to take you all on such a long trip. We knew there would be poop in the story too. Have you ever seen <i>Me and You and Everyone We Know</i>? I think you would like it a lot. Do you think that the arranged marriage tradition is connected to high level of promiscuity famously attributed to Indian society? I inherited my dad's love of all things stainless steel. I wish they made cars out of it. Thanks for this wonderfully sustained and matter-of-fact travelogue Romi. It was a fun read with your nicely rendered imagery.

I also wanted to say that I've really enjoyed these stories from your trip to India. I may be going to Turkey soon, and I'm kind of looking forward to the culture shock, the food...maybe not the toilets. I need more skirts for the 'hole-in-the-ground' variety.

The big deal: Rust. I recently acquired a cooking knife that is not stainless steel. The big deal: Rust.
