Arrival plus a very funny story

I want to start off this post by telling you that I am very sorry for not posting anything before this. I just have not had any sort of time to spend any significant amount of time on here to do this. The Mayflower's have ran me to the ground to help me in adjusting to the time, it has helped a lot. Thank you for being patient with me.

It was a very long first day, even longer than these other four days that we have been here, spending 17 hours on a single plane for various reasons was a very long test of staying away; for the most part. Leaving Chicago around 10:20, plane was supposed to leave at 7:20, Monday night and then we did not get into New Delhi, India until 12, midnight, Wednesday morning. It was a very new experience to saw the least.

The last chance to eat beet was taken advantage of. In Chicago we went and ate at Chili's, my favorite restaurant if you didn't know, and I got the wonderful Oldtimer. Thank Him that I had it when I did because after we got on the plane around 7:10 we sat on the plane for a while and then, just like normal, the plane was going toward the runway. Just having a few planes ahead of us I thought that we were going to get out of there on time, but He had other plans. It was a great to land at night here, we wouldn't have if it was on schedule, because we went right to sleep we when got unpacked and such. Yet that was after watching about five movies, four tv shows and a video game.

Oh no!, how could I forget to even mention Indian traffic. Speed bumps are everywhere and then coming to find out that there are basically no laws, it's fun!

Ever since this first night I know rest can be from Him, I never wanted to go to sleep this much in my whole life. Even though it was on a couch and I only slept for four hours. I was rested, pumped and ready to learn more about he culture of India. Lets get it started.

It is in the morning here so I had to rush this and so I can't really tell you the whole story so hopefully I will see you when I get back to the states so that I actually tell you the whole story, it is great! We were at the mall and we parked underground, yet we did not get a parking ticket. We were waiting for one but the people working the entrance told us that we could go on ahead and get in the mall. This was our mistake. Anyways, we parked and then went into the mall. The ladies shopped and us guys went to some electronic stores and then meet up with someone he knew. So we talked until his break was over and he had to go back to work. When his break was done the ladies were already back from shopping, what a surprise, and done with there lunch. So then we got our lunch and then ate it pretty fast. After lunch we were done and so we headed to the car to leave. This is where it get interesting.

Mrs. Mayflower is expecting in August, is white and she was tired from walking in the mall all day. Remember that we didn't get a ticket when we went down to park? Well you NEED that to get out and it tells them how long you were in the mall which tells them how much you pay them. Well anyway JP gave them what it usually cost and then the guy that was taking the money asked for more, they usually bump up the price on holidays but it wasn't a holiday, but he gave them more anyway. To make a long story short they brought out the head of security for parking and he asked to see his identification and car information, we did, and not two seconds later; in fact I think that she interrupted the security officer. Mrs. Mayflower told the security man that this is NOT OK in the culture that I come from; I am calling my embassy.

Doing well and having fun; learning A LOT.
