Name:
Location: Shanghai, China

I am weird, suspicious, and secretive according to one personality test. However, I would like to think of myself as loyal, appreciative, and dependable. Maybe, I'm a little of all of the above. God has definitely made me unique in who I am!

Incredible India


i have been in india for one week now, and i have seen countless things . . .

I have seen cows roam the streets without a care in the world, and yes, nobody comes to your door and says the cows are in the road.

I have seen the capital city with its Red Fort and chaotic streets.

I have seen Jaipur with its pink houses and so many rickashawas and traffic that you could barely squeeze through an opening.

I have seen the beautiful Taj Mah Hal in its majesty professing the symbol of a deep endearling love.

I have seen people bathing in the Ganges to purify themselves.

I have seen dead bodies being burnt by the river as the family looks onward.

I have seen countless homeless, poor, and beggars on the streets.

India, oh India what a world away it is from my home in the States or my home in China. I never imagined such a different country to exist, but yet, here it is pulsating, never resting. a country with countless people.

My eyes have been opened to a whole nother world.

I wish I could write more exact for you to be able to see and hear the world of India, and later maybe, I will try. However, right now my food is ready, and i haven't eaten since breakfast and now it is almost 8:00 at night. my stomach yearns for food, and my weary bones ache for rest! no fears, tomorrow i will rest on a 27 hour train ride! !
