My summer this year was not spent at the beach or the pool. Instead, I lived the realities of the Chinese countryside and grew to appreciate a way of life so different from the hustle and bustle that characterizes Americans' day-to-day routines.
BangaLore #24: See you (mon)soon
Dear Monsoon, It's over? So soon? I've been in India for a year, and I've thought about what to write in this blog for many months now.
