The Countdown Continues

Though I have studied a great deal about India's religions, history, and culture and I have had countless conversations with some of my Indian friends, I feel that nothing I do can prevent me from the inevitable culture shock that I will be sure to experience upon my arrival in Delhi.With less than a week before I leave for my summer in India, I am now left with the daunting task of trying to pack for my trip. After having already gone through a series of hurtles including visa issues, learning the devanagri script, and the fact that I have become a human pin cushion from all of the vaccinations that I have received, packing should be easy. However, having never stepped foot in the subcontinent, I do not want to leave anything that I may need behind. Knowing myself to have somewhat of a delicate stomach and fearing the dreaded Delhi Belly, I have undoubtedly procured every kind of stomach medicine imaginable. The only thing that I have left to do is to make sure that everything that I need does not exceed the 50lb luggage limit. Wish me luck.
