Observation Break:

Over the course of the week, I have made several observations I would like to "jot down" for memory:

- Many of the mannequins in stores here are from the 80s and mostly have Caucasian faces


- Traffic jams are more like traffic jamborees. The roads here are shared by cars, auto rickshaws, bicycle rickshaws, bikes, horses, camels, cows (they roam free), scooters, and pedestrians.

- Vehicle Safety is not an issue. Several times now I have observed entire families on the back of a scooter, with an infant child hanging loosely from his or her mother's lap. And to think we strap children in car seats facing backwards until they are ten in the US...

- People in India love their jobs. No matter what they do or where they do it, they are thankful for work. Makes you think...
