We definitely aren't in India anymore...check out the jacket I dug out of my bag, we walked off the plane and I instantly felt like it was Christmas! It may have also been due to the bizarre lit up fake palm trees outside of the airport. The town we are in also feels like an American ski town...narrow streets, crisp air, lots of bars and restaurants, with "mountains" in the distance.

This character, we learned, means "How beautiful the landscape here! We should study and work hard when we are young."

That's a lot of observation and propaganda, all rolled into one!
