In brief

This is short post. I have some time and I want to share a few new experineces.
First: my shoes have been stolen. In India people leave their shoes in front of the door, in fact they wear slippers or sandals, as those are more appropriate in this climate. Anyway, my shoes were barely used and were collecting dust in front of the entrance for a month. Then one day I went out and recognized that they were not there anymore. I don't know if they were stolen during te night or during the day, but actually doesn't matter. I feel very uncomfortable that someone have come here sniffed around the house and took somethng that belonged to me. Not a nice feeling especially when You are so far away from home and things are just uncertain around You. The people are very freindly in general, saying hi, following You, many wnats to touch You etc. But since that I can't help being suspicious about their hidden intensions. It has been proved in several occasions that they see me as a rich guy who doesn't familiar here at all, and they are not shy to take advantage on it. Even when I know for sure that I am fooled I have very little to do against.

Second: we had our first pizza in India, and... we ordered it! And it works, they delivered it quite fast. Right after I hung up, they called me back to tell, that they did not have the pizza I asked. Of course they only had the more expensive ones. We ended up receiving a chicken pizza. Meat is an interesting issue in India. As they don't eat much meat they don't really know how to preapre it. Well , in this case we had a few microscopic meat pieces on our pizza. But the garlic bread and the brownie(!) were great, so all in all we were satisfied.

That's it for now, I just wanted to share these few things, a longer post will some soon, stay aware! ;-)

Petya
