RSPH Outtakes: Bianca Birthday Edition

My days are numbered...*

















*And for the record, there are pictures that I didn't include. I'm saving them for blackmail.

I Can't Stop Now, For No One

Oh yeah, and my research is officially dead. I am going to now consider this a creative vacation in the sunny Balkans region.

India Schmindia

Hi all,

I'm in the Subcontinent as well. Things here are going relatively well. I've made friends with a few british IT geeks here in Bangalore and thankfully have a few people to drink with. Much needed release from the chaos and isolation of being a foreigner on the other side of the world. My research has been crazy. I've been going all over Karnataka State, and have gotten 90 surveys and 5 FGS's in less than 2 weeks. I am tired, mosquito-bitten and sunburnt, but this is really just a taste (or a smell?) of what people here live in their whole lives.

Personally, I am more grateful than ever to have what I have on the other side of the world. It makes me more determined to try and balance out the lopsidedness of our little planet. I think it makes it spin funny, and could be dangerous.

Street life in Dhaka

So every day to get to my NGO's office (where a lot of revising, organizing, waiting, and drinking tea is going on, but no actual interviews or research yet--the current goal is to start going to villages Monday... or Tuesday... or Wednesday... or Thursday, but if we start waiting any longer I'll be taking boats to get there since monsoon has officially started!) I take the little three wheeled taxi thing called a CNG that I mentioned in my last post. They are perfect for inconspicously taking photos from, as the small side openings and low-to-the-ground nature sorta hides both my foreigness and my camera flash. So when I'm stuck in traffic, which is all the time, I take photos. So, enjoy...
