India was pretty much what I expected it to be: Lots of hard working citizens jacking their prices up 1000% because the silly Americans don’t know how much things usually go for. Usually if someone said “Good price” you were getting ripped off one way or another, although the way I see it is that if you feel like you got it for cheap, then you weren’t ripped off. Also, rickshaws, craziest taxi ride of your life. Regardless, the majority of time spent in India was at my trip in DakshinaChitra, which was the yoga/meditation homestay. I’d prefer to tell people about this in person rather then post it here, but let me just say that there was some excellent bonding with the people in the group, and that I was never a believer of “ki”, or “chi” until this trip. ‘nuff said.
Oh, and for the record, they never should have let a psychology professor create the tests for our global studies course.

I give to you as such:
