Bite Sized Thoughts

Some quick thoughts:

Man, the food is good here.

If you smile at an orphan, they smile back.

Orphans have huge smiles.

The food is SOOO good here.

Our stomachs are hurting less from traveler's sickness.

The longer we're here, the more our stomachs hurt from laughing so hard.

Mango chutney is potentially my most favorite food ever.

If I moved to India and kept working half-time at my job, I could support 4 people with a "Luxurious" lifestyle.

When you give medicine to the sick, food to the hungry, clothes to the naked, homes to the homeless, jobs to the unemployed, and safety to children, lot of people start to think pretty highly of you. They'll even help you spread a religion they don't believe in if you ask politely.

We're experimenting with the possibility of creating a curry-filled naan-wrapped burrito-amalgam.

Only 1% of all people stay involved.

A $1000 deep-bore well makes a simple but noticable difference in dozens to hundreds of people's lives.



Fruit Jelly is an unexpectedly pleasant addition to spicy curry.

White Americans are giants.

I enjoy being a giant.

The food that makes our noses run is apparently designed for babies. Suresh says he'll allow us to eat from his table the day we leave, that way he doesn't have to deal with the spicy reprocussions.

The world is thriving with life. It crawls, swims, flies, drops out of, nests in, burrows, wallows, flurishes, fills, scurries and climbs on every inch of this beautiful garden we call Earth. Thank God that we have more things to play with than just rocks and water.

Ants and pigs are very determined and adaptable. Both will eat anything. Ants will even eat Primrose Crayola markers.

Isaiah tells me that the one thing which is common to all cultures is soda pop.

Everywhere we go, someone hands us a botle of sprite.

It's really not that different here. We're all under one heaven.

Hmm... Remind me to ask you about this when you get back home (and are more rested and no longer have food poisoning).
