I am having somewhat of a hard time in California... it is fun, scenic, but SMOKEY! Everyone here smokes and it drives me crazy. I think my family is going to return to Provo addicted to nicotine!Carly Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17913142022559554044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389489058076210714.post-7874351365014242532008-05-28T00:28:00.000-04:002008-05-28T00:28:00.000-04:00Page!

I think I found your blog from Facebook, and have enjoyed periodically checking it to see more pictures of your adorable son.<BR/><BR/>On your trip, may I give a piece of advice? I went to India last Fall to do public health research. I was also overcome by how smelly, dirty, and unsanitary everything was. I was in a small rural village and could speak to no one. I even got groped a few times. It was awful. I was doing an internship in a city an hour or so bus ride away from where all of the other BYU students were so I spent most of the time on my own. I was so overcome with how dirty everything was (are you using a squatter?), that I inadvertently focused on that rather than on the other aspects of living and working in rural India that I was exeriencing.<BR/><BR/>I think I wrote an email home complaining to my family about everything and my sister wrote back saying something like, "Gwen, you will never have an experience like this again (I have since gotten married and know exactly what she meant!). You will be talking about this trip for years. Try and get the most you can out of it."<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying this is your attitude, but I can relate to the initial shock of being in South Asia. I hope that helps and that you have a great trip. What an experience!Gwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14085378746626578785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389489058076210714.post-20910571067056840502008-05-22T12:19:00.000-04:002008-05-22T12:19:00.000-04:00hello!!!
