Home Sweet Home in India

Well I have made it back to Chennai. No problems with the flights. Maybe it's just me, but it really doesn't seem to take over a day of travel to go between the U.S. and India. I really don't mind it as much as the trip between Beijing and Chicago...that 13 plus hour direct flights was just a killer. Plus, I don't know if it is due to the stop in Germany to switch flights or the timing of the flights, but I don't get jet lag like I did when I was living in China. In fact, I didn't have any jet lag when I arrived in Florida a couple of weeks ago. It's still a little early to tell about the return back to India. I'm sure I'll have it some...only time will tell over the next few days.

Well my welcome back to India is of course in typical India style. Besides S being gone on another business trip, I have been welcomed home by ants, a dryer that isn't working (S claims that it was working yesterday afternoon, so I need to figure out what the problem is), and a bunch of mold and stink in the refrigerator. S had returned home last week to find that the main fridge had stopped working. He managed to get the repair people out to fix it, but he didn't have time to clean it out. Let's just say raunchy is an understatement for the status that it is in right now. So, that will be one of my "fun" tasks for the day.

Anyway, I'm off to shower now. I was too tired to take one last night when I got in...so maybe that smell is me and not the fridge? No, I'm pretty sure it's the fridge!
