Tiger Balm

HINDI IS FINALLY STARTING TO MAKE SENSE! I spent most of last night writing and re-writing the characters and the combinations, and I am now looking around town and sounding out words… I feel like a five year old learning how to read but it’s awesome. This is how I must have felt when I learned to read English. I did yoga today and its really different here than what we are used to back home. It is less about movements and more about breathing and relaxing every part of your body. At one point we were breathing like a dog, tongue out and everything, and I almost burst out laughing. Other than that it was really relaxing.

I discovered something great… Tiger Balm. I think we have it in the states and its pretty much like Bengay but sooooo cheap. 33 rupees to be exact, which is a little under a buck. I am going to buy out the Ayurvedic store slowly and build up a supply. I am basically using Tiger Balm on my back every night because my mattress here couldn’t be any thinner. I am pretty much just sleeping on the metal planks that make up my frame.

If Tiger Balm sounds interesting to anyone let me know and I’ll get some for you!

That’s all for now, Peace
