I want to write, but every time I sit down to describe my experiences I just can't quite get it out. Yesterday I sat down to write about the little Chinese woman in the Malaysian ...

It's strange the things you can get used to. I realize, looking around, that Jaipur has become "comfortable" for me. I look back on the first day, being dropped of on MI Road, terrified of...
