people, people everywhere....

well, there sure are a lot of people in india...today was a bit overwhelming.

first, my auto rickshaw guy decides he'd like to give me a foot massage on the stairs of some temple...then he brings me to a place where they make textiles. They showed me how they hand print the cloth, which was pretty cool, but then they brought me upstairs for some shopping...no thanks.

I walked around a bit but everyone hassles you. There are beggars everywhere too. Some boy with haunting eyes made me cave and I bought him some bananas...what can you do?

Finally I gave up and went to get a pedicure. I'm still trying to reconcile all of this in my head...

I'm reading Paul Krugman's "Pop Internationalism". Good book if you get a chance. I just finished in Defence of Globalization by Johan Norberg, from Sweden. Another book that makes you think. (I"m trying to decide on textbooks for next semester).

Bueno, ya me voy. Espero que todo este bien!

Knock on wood, healthy so far!

Hasta pronto,
Alicia
