Kim and I have learned that we don't very much like the weekends. We have absolutely nothing to do and today I finished a book and a book on tape! We are supposed to start teaching English to the seminary students on Monday, but we are not sure if this will happen. We have heard 2 different stories, one saying we will teach on Monday and one saying we won't start teaching until next semester (January). One thing that I have learned about Indians is that they run on no schedule. They are very relaxed about everything and we often have no idea what is going on until 5 minutes before it happens. For example, lunch is set for 1pm but it may not start until 1:10 or it may come earlier at 12:40. Sometimes this is difficult to deal with because I want to get on Skype or the internet but no one is really in a rush to get the internet hooked up. This is something that I, as an American, need to get used to.
We weren't able to go to the wedding today because I was still feeling very weak and Kim was worried about the car ride also. The other day we went into town, about 15 minutes away, and we both got car sick. The roads are very bumpy and the cars constantly stop and go, considering that they are swerving in and out of traffic, often driving on the shoulder to avoid a collision. Looking out the window doesn't help car sickness because you just see how close you are to hitting a bus and then you get even more sick! I have learned to trust the person driving and the people walking on the side of the road. If they live in India, they must be used to the roads and know what they are doing, right? Haha
