After 36 hours of travel, we finally arrived in India. There were a few delays and an unexpected landing in Bangalore India to refuel before we ultimately ended up in Chennai, but in the end we got here. Our official residence for 5 weeks is Madras Christian College (MCC) which is a little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the Indian streets. It feels as if we are in a jungle with all the trees around us on campus.
Yesterday was a long day of acclimating to the time. We first arrived at MCC at 5am, after already being up since 1am, and got settled in. The rest of the day consisted of exploring the campus, unpacking, eating awesome Indian food, and attempting to not fall asleep so we could adjust to the time. There were many naps taking by the group, I managed to not fall asleep until about 3pm and then had to wake up around 4pm so we could go to the John Lennon tribute concert the students on the campus were having. We were all really tired and reluctant to go, but it was a really fun cancert and the music was good. I guess The Beatles are everywhere. After the concert it was dinner time and then straight to bed. I think all of us probably had the best sleep of our life last night after being so exhausted.
Our balcony, the first rom on the left is mine. I have 3 other roomates.
This is in our 'backyard' of the international guest house. I was very sleep deprived at this point so don't ask what I was doing..
It takes a long time to upoad photos so there will only be a few per post. Go to the other student's blogs to see more photos if you want!
