India is like nothing I've ever seen before. Coming from the luxury hotel and shops in Singapore to walking outside the Kolkata Airport into the absolutely craziest ride of my life in a taxi was mind-blowing. I can say that my mum is not the worst driver after all. It seems weird how we can put our complete trust in one of the billions of Indians to drive us safely to our destination: Hotel Emirates.
I was expecting much worse stepping into the hotel where we would stay for a week but the cement-like double bed Mitch and I were sharing to the bucket we shower in was a 5 star hotel compared to what Mr Jordan told us it was going to be like. We even got a friendly visit from a mouse in our room. What more could you ask for?
I was amazed when we walked the streets of midnight India to see how they lived. I was straight away approached by a grunting woman begging for money (we got a hell of alot more the next day), saw plenty of people sleeping on the streets, dogs barking and biting each other and not a single star in the sky. But it was the next day that made me realise how much they appreciate the little they have.
I thought to myself, "so this is India."

Henry remembers staying at Hotel Crystal- a place Mr Skeen had a connection with. Same but with another name, or different? Lovely to hear the first day has been exhilarating and you are coping with no glasses? Oh and the other thing I am concerned about is your plate. Maybe the wee plastic bags will come in handy. Missing you already.x
