Quick update from Kolkata

I am back in Kolkata. My friend left on Monday and I was sad to see her go. It is a busy week though and I can't believe it is already almost over. My days are packed full of meetings and this evening I am going to get to see more of the city, which will be fun because I've been so busy since I got here that I haven't seen too much yet. Some of the students and former students here at JU have been going to my meetings with me and will be taking me around. It's been really fun getting to meet new people.

I will post more updates soon about the end of my trip. I leave for Delhi Friday morning and have booked a tour to take me to the Taj Mahal and several other places that weekend. I will be home one week from today - so crazy that this trip is almost over! How did it go by so fast?

  1. Hello KJ,

    Please be very careful with the tour you booked. Did you pay any money online? Where are you staying? Delhi is a difficult city, full of people waiting to drain your pockets. You will be better off paying for a round-trip train ticket to Agra (Taj Mahal) and going by yourself. It's fast and cheap. The tour buses often taken 6-7 hours and they end up dropping you off in the middle of a tourist scam...TRUST me it's a nightmare. I can tell you more later...
