About Me
Hi, Well, it's finally here, I'm really doing this!! I'm so excited and yet scared of what I don't know about India. I've done plenty of researching, but I know that nothing can prepare me for what I'm about to experience. Nina.

On India Tour

Posted By Nina Moran on 03 Jul 2007
Well, it's finally here, I'm really doing this!! I'm so excited and yet scared of what I don't know about India. I've done plenty of researching, but I know that nothing can prepare me for what I'm about to experience. I've felt within me, what I would call, the start of a change. I can feel that some parts of who I am will be awakened in India, namely my spiritual side. Two of the main religions in India are Hinduism and Buddhism, and I have a book of the principles of the Buddhist religion, and one of the main Hinduism texts, the Bhagvad Gita, which I will be studying on the 30 hour trip I'm about to take so I can familiarize myself with what they base everything they do.

Getting Oriented

Posted By Nina Moran on 02 Jul 2007
I've been in Chennai for about 4 days now, and it has been so amazing!!! I got off the plane to be greeted by a Gapguru representative that drove me to my homestay. I use 'drove' lightly, because this is definitely an interesting experience. If you've ever checked out Chennai driving on You Tube, you'll have a slight idea, but, WOW, I can't believe people actually make it to their destination in one piece! The driver was telling me that the road sizes have not changed at all, and they add 15 - 30 cars a day to the road! There are really no lane markers, so it's pure organised chaos in every sense of those words, quite amazing actually.
