Lucys been let loose
Right well i think i should start this email im still alive, just!!!
I was so nervous when i left my mum and dad and rayche, me in tears!!! The taxi driver kept saying he was sorry, god knows what he thought he'd done!
Anyway i got on the plane and sat next to a lovely bloke from delhi who works in bangkok he helped me loads when i got to India, get a taxi etc even gave me his number incase of emergency!
Anyway after finally getting to the hostel/ prison cell. I tried to get some sleep but not sheets or pillows were supplied so i had my blow up cushion, town and sarong over me...good its hot! I woke up to the phone riging with some one telling me they had booked my ticket for the train and i was to go now, so i quickly got dressed and went down stairs to find myselfbeing thrown into a taxi and driven the station there was another bloke in the car (dutch) with no bags this is when i thought maybe something isnt right here. Anyway when we got to the station and he tried to book a 7pm train i explained i wanted to leave asap, he thought i wanted to go to boliwood and then catch a train i the evening, why i would want to take my rutsac to a film i have no idea i said sorry and left them tool a taxi to central station but i was too late for the 11 train so would have to wait till 4 with all my bags in the non a/c station for 5hrs, i then thought i could try a plane so got a taxi to the airport with no sucess i had no money really and they wouldnt let me use my dads card all this time i had my rutsac and my back in the baking heat being thrown from pillow to post! It was horrible i then went bck to the train station and had to wait the way i see it now is atleast i killed some time. Sadly at the time i was tierd hot and sick of India!!!! I wanted to cry it sounds pathetic, but being constantly stared at and wispered about and asked for money (like im rich!!!) really gets to you and something so simple as going to the loo becomes a task as you have to take all your bags with you! And because there those sqat toilets i have to squt and hold my ritsac thinking now of how it must have looked im in stiches sadly at the time, again....no laughing matter!!!!
Anway finally 4pm came and i got on the train, 1st class sleeper acon, your kidding, it was over crowded the acon was on ful blast i was frozen and the 3 men i my cabin were gross, one kept burping which made me feel sick so i put my head phones in so i couldnt hear it and then the other started spitting on the floor!!! I climbed into my bunk and went to sleep!
Wad woken for breakfast. I was finally off the train and met by Prakesh my co-ordinator! Taken to a nice hotel and settled in. I had soup and hot chocolate for supper. The next day i was taken sight seeing it was beautiful, a few near misses too many though! I had a great time but was very bored by myself! The most beautiful mosq ever and there was a man having a pooh up the wall i was mortified!!! Anyway yesterday i had a migrain so didnt really leave the room.
Today i have to get a bus in about two hours to Nagar which is where im gonna be teaching, i hope there are some nice people there talking to yourself in the mirror gets a bit tired after a while will be happy to get out of the 45 degree heat though its killing me!
Well thats it for now, stupidly i sent my camera leads home but will put pics on when possible! There are not many phones or etc in Nagar so you may not here from me for a month! My phone wont work there either so good bye civerlization!!!!
Miss you all loads and loads and cant wait to get home!!!! 26th Aug 11wks!!!!
