1. an exciting or very unusual experience.

We have now been in India two weeks today, and that means two full weeks of twist turns and plenty of adventure!
Things I love:

• Eating with your right hand
• Wearing handmade Punjabi’s  
• Riding in motor rickshaws
• Bobbling your head in every conversation
• Amazing service
• Hanging your clothes out to dry 
• Drinking buffalo milk
• Tiffins!
• Chi tea
• Meeting some of the most wonderful people!

Things you live with:

• Your left hand replaces toilet paper
• You wake up sweating every hour. (I keep a bottle of water by my bed to dump over myself... but it's dry in an hour)
• Spicy spicy very spicy food
• Arguing with 20 motor rickshaw drivers before you find someone who will take you for the actual price  
• Relentlessly starring at you is perfectly normal
• You never really know what is in your food... or where it's been
•  Meeting some very interesting people
• Idols everywhere

Hospital:

• English is more common
• Women want your loving help
• Cuddling lots of tiny babies
• Many opportunity’s to practice skills such as suturing 

• Smell is stronger than on Africa
• Many many many people
• A hundred Student nurses are ALWAYS asking you a million questions and they never miss a chance to take pictures of you.
• Lack of loving care and knowledge about some things
