I am down to 33 days left here. Time is marching on.

The US operations team is in India this week. As a result of them being here I have had the chance to go out to eat at a few different places. Tuesday we had lunch at a hotel and the food was a Mexican theme, Taco Tuesday. Mexican is pretty close with Indian cuisine to start off with, so it was not that much of a change. I know I must be getting use to the food though, as I had no issues with it and the guy sitting next to me was sweating away from the spiciness.

This happened again for snacks that night. One of the local coworkers was complaining about the heat of the green chilies in one of the snacks. I had no issues first eating it. They were all amazed. Then the chilies kicked in about 5 minutes later. My mouth was on fire. I was off to get a Coke to help cool down my mouth.

Last night we went to a 5 star hotel of hors derves and dinner. We started off on the rooftop which overlooked the Humuyan Tomb. It was a great view. I sat down with a couple guys that have been working in Nigeria for there last assignment. They have a temporary finance opening there and were trying to convince me to go to Nigeria for 3-6 months. I politely said no to that one.

The food at the hotel was westernized, but very good. It was non spicy. Today I feel like I am getting some of my energy back. All it took was some good quality food instead of rice and curry for every meal. My cold is still hanging on though.

The air quality has also become much worse. Smog has rolled in. The coworkers say it is from the crackers from last week. My eyes feel gritty and when I blow my nose it is now black. That has to be good for my health.

The temperatures have cooled off too. Winter is here! It is a high of 90 and a low of 60 right now. The only problem is the mosquitoes are hatching and they are everywhere.
