As far as the latest in India goes, we just returned from a two day trip to Mysor which is about five hours north of Bangalore. We saw an amazingly beautiful palace built about two hundred years ago for some dude in the 24th dynasty of something -- couldn't really understand the guides broken English... But the point is, the palace was sweet! We also went to a bird sanctuary, and as we were getting into the boats to go check it out the guides were like, "Don't put your fingers in the water there are crocadiles!" And we were like, ok whatever...I hope we see one?? haha probably not. Well, not only did we see one crocodile, we saw...I don't know to be honest I stopped counting - maybe 15-20?!? Ranging in size from 4 - 12 feet long, we got CLOSE. Scary close. And then I saw one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my entire life. There was a bird in the water minding its own business, and out of nowhere this croc starts cruising towards - going maybe 30 - 40 mph just sneakin up on this bird and then BAM! snatches it and drags it under!! -- I'm talking Planet Earth quality footage here from maybe 30 or 40 feet away -- I mean, this was ridiculous!! I still haven't gotten over it. Soooo cool. Anyways, it made a ten hour bus ride to and from Mysor (which was itself pretty boring) totally worth while.
Exams are on Monday so we will start preparing "intensely" for those as well.
