St. Lawrence University juniors and CC Room 304 residents studying abroad: Mia in St. George, Bermuda; Emily in Rouen, France; Emma in Delhi/Jaipur/Varanasi, India. Three roommates. One semester. 7670.5 miles of separation.
Today we arrived in Jaipur, "The Pink City," where we will live until the end of October. This is the city where we will spend the longest amount of time on the whole program. Other than this portion, we don't spend more than 3 weeks at a time in any place. I'll live with a host family while I'm here, and I will be meeting them tomorrow (!!!!). Our drive from Delhi was almost 7 hours, and going from the big city into the desert provence of Rajesthan was a huge change. There are different animals here (like camels, which are HUGE in real life!) and lots of slums on the city's outskirts (this part is actually very similar to Delhi). Our hotel for the night is beautiful and it'll be hard to leave but I'm so excited to move in with the Bhatia family tomorrow!
