Redox or Detox?

Okay, okay. I know that I have been off college for almost 9weeks, BUT I swear to you, I have had NO time to blog. So here's a quick 5minute update on all things me. Follow me through this window......

Ok no window, but still continue to read for me :)

Welllll.. I survived, what most would probably call the greatest, bravest adv of my life. I went India all alone and worked, and surprisingly survived... But it wasnt all chocolates and roses..

Here are my top 5 lessons on How to Survive the Indian Vibe.

1) Almost always opt for rickshaws. They are much cheaper, and kinda fun acctually. Often people think that they are slow, and tiring. But I'll let you in on a secret... My rickshaw driver was Michal Shumacher in disguise.

2) Always find a respectable place to eat. Doesnt have to be a 5* hotels. You could get equally as nice food in a nice resturant. The toilets are always a way to tell if the place is appropriate or not.

3) You will always be asked to sing the national anthem of India everytime you go to the cinema. But be careful, India 'filum' fans are mad. M-A-D.

4) Nearly everything is worth it. If you spend money on a top hotel, you WILL recieve the top of hospitalities. Being lucky enough to stay at the Sahara Star, I was fortunate to experience some of India's most respectable people.

5) When I went to the hospital, for my placement, I got approached by many people that said I inspired them.. what they dont know is, how much they have inspired me! Everybody has their own story and their own pair of shoes. Never judge anyone unless you have walked a mile in their shoes.

- O yeah, remember to keep smiling always! X
