Namaste from India!

This is a quick blog update since I am actually in a conference session! But for those of you who have been checking this and waiting to see something new, here you go finally!

I am at AIESEC's International Congress 2005 in Agra, India, the home of the Taj Mahal. I have seen the Taj from a distance; unfortunately I have yet to actually go to the site and see it. Hopefully I will have a chance either at the crack of dawn one of these days before sessions, or after the conference ends.

Although I haven't seen too much of India, what I have seen has been amazing. It was not quite what I expected - I haven't seen throngs of people, and I wasn't absolutely overwhelmed when I arrived (although granted, it was 1:00 am), however things like rickshaws - and actually riding in an autorickshaw :) - and stray cows - it's cool. I was also really enjoying the Indian food here until I got very sick from it. A lot of people have fallen ill - either from the food or the air-conditioning - so I was in good company! I'm feeling much better now though, and am less adventurous when it comes to meal times!

For the AIESECers reading this, this IC has been amazing! If you're not here - I'm sorry! The agenda and content have been fantastic. Also, it has been great to see so many old friends, and people from home! :)

Unfortunately I don't have time for more right now....see ya!
