It is a sad day. On my morning drive to work I noticed that one of the two donkeys were in the middle of the road lying down again. Unfortunately this time two dogs were making a meal out of him. I could not tell if the donkey was hit by a car or what. I did not see his partner, but it looked like it was the smaller of the two.
Yesterday was the first true rain of the season. 69 mm in total. There was mass flooding in Delhi. The news was showing roads that were covered about 3 feet high with cars and motorcycles trying to plow through it.
This morning I had a friendly visitor outside my door in the hallway when I came back from breakfast. It was a little lizard. First I tapped my foot by it and it ran straight up my door. I had to chase it back down again as I did not want to open the door and have it run in my room. It was an entertaining 5 minutes. I snapped a picture of it.
Then the lady that sits next to me at work was complaining she had a lizard in her car in the passenger seat this morning. She was freaking out. The rains must have them wondering around.
I have had to call a cab the last two days because most of the group is at an offsite sales meeting. My cab has been a tiny little hatchback with no seat belts in the back. At least it has air-conditioning. I can only understand a few words the driver says, but he has been able to get me to and from work with no problems.
On my ride home on Saturday the driver cranked up some music and it was American music. He asks “You like?” I recognized the song as it was Lady Gaga with Pokerface. I said “Lady Gaga”. He started to laugh and said “ya lady gaga” and laughed some more.
Another difference over hear is how they talk numbers. For instance if two numbers repeat like 44, they will say double 4. If 3 numbers repeat like 444 , they will say triple 4. It threw me off the first couple of times when trying to write down phone numbers.
