I'm here (sing-song voice)

Finally, I'm here! I took off from Philly at 7:00 PM Sunday and, by Philly time, got to London at 2:00. Then we had to go through security (again, ugh. What could we have done between getting off the plane and getting to the security line, which took all of 5 minutes?!?!?!?!?). Then we took off to fly to Mumbai, which was an ok flight. I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer (awesome show) on my dad's Ipod and then tried to sleep. Sleep, ha ha, as if. After trying to sleep for an hour (and failing miserably) I gave up and played Dragoneer's Art on my PSP. The stupid Fuming Sprigets and Death Furies kept killing me and even if I beat them, the Demon Servant would kill me when I tried to save the Fire Dragon.

Anyway, I finally fall asleep, so I miss breakfast and wake up, only to see lunch has been served! Jet lag is really annoying! We arrive in Mumbai and have to go through security, again! Has the world sunken so low that they distrust the general public this much? So, I'm in a new county, on a new continent, on the other side of the world, and I can't even go through security with my dad!! India is so sex segragated that there are different security lines for men and women! I'm on the other side of the gates, stuck in a slow moving line and my first experience in this new, yet still incredible, country is being seperated from my dad.

That aside, I got to the gate and waited two hours. Then it was off to Chennai, on another flight. A car picked us up and took us to Pondicherry. The trashcans in Chennai were PENGUINS. In Pondicherry they were RABBITS. What is up with this country?...??

During the drive I saw at least 50 cows, 30 goats and and probably 100 dogs. No monkeys or pigs yet, but beautiful birds and wretched bugs are abundant.

So what the trip was...
1. plane from Philly to London 6 and a half hours
2. plane from London to Mumbai 12 hours
3.layover in Mumbai 3 hours
4. plane from Mumbai to Chennai 2 hours
5. car from Chennai to Pondicherry 3 hour

GRAND TOTAL: 26 AND A HALF HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw some Pondi sights like the temples and the beach and had a jolly good first day.
