Too good, man

I'm back from my trip, all in one piece!  I have lots of bruises on my legs (thanks 14 hr overnight bus on super bumpy road), a broken watch and a missing water bottle top.  Other than that, all is well!  Over the next few days I plan to post pics (pigs?) and write about some interesting things that happened on the trip.  But in the meantime, here are some lessons learned;

• If you ride in an auto with 2 Indian fellows, Bangalore auto drivers will think you're a prostitute
• How to make vear berries into Loda
• Village kids dont care if you can't speak Hindi
• Don't eat bhang on an empty stomach and walk out in the mid day sun if you're already a bit delirious and dehydrated from staying up all night and trying to watch the sunrise.
• If you say you're checking into a hotel to sleep, people will think you're a prostitute
• Chennai is full of wasted fellows and Bangalore is full of useless fellows
• My stomach can handle food and water from the village, the train, the bus stop, the island without getting upset!!!  (well, I'll know for sure in about 22 days)
• Rajinikanth = SUPERSTAR
• Marriage is a very complicated issue in India 
• ஓத மொக்கை  போடாதே! 
• If you hold onto an Indian fellow's arm while crossing the street, people may think you're a prostitute
• "Save Our Tigers" still has a lot of work to do, but there is at least one tiger in Kanha National Park
• I prefer sleeper class to 3AC train travel
• I'm getting married in 2012 and will have 2 kids; a boy and a baby
• If I never eat poha again, it will still be too soon
• There is another person who mosquitos love more than me (GAPP)
• Indian fellows don't understand knock knock jokes

And, unless they think you're a prostitue, the people of Madhya Pradesh are extremely friendly and helpful.
