Hello everyone! Well, I've been here for 5 days and was sick for two. Very exciting eh? We went to Agra, which is about 150 miles southeast of Delhi to see the Taj Mahal, and on the way I started to feel sick. Then really sick. We decided, what the hell, lets stay at the Oberoi 5 star hotel overnite and see how I feel in the morning. Its kind of an expensive hotel, but hell, cheaper than a hospital bed fight. Well, the bad news is they were all full up. And the really bad news was yours truly vomited hits guts out on their polished marble entranceway. I 've got the photo to prove it. But I was a lot better the next day, but then my friend got sick. Ah...the joys of third world travel. The Taj was great, and I got photos in my AK Bars jersey, and the best thing is this guy approached us and points and goes..."Kazan...this is my home. Tatarstan." Got photos of him too.

Today we're heading up to the Himalayas in our hired car. Driving here is crazy. Stop and go and constant honking and unbelevable polluting vehicles. I swear to god we went by a truck that actually looked homemade! The people are constantly trying to hawk stuff and they're frankly not as friendly as china was. Oh well.

I also see from online that the Mighty AK Bars were not so mighty vs the fucking Aces. 5-0 isn't catastrophic tho. I mean, we're missing the star player right? I really miss hockey tho, I've had dreams that I'm pretty much every nite. It's rather warm here...7os during the day and about 40 at nite, but I miss the 0-20 degree range baby! Up north will be colder I guess.

I'm also feeling pretty safe. There's more tension with Pakistan right now with what's going on, but nothing's happened. I told my friend tho; if they start a shooting war I'm going home early man!

Okay. we gotta meet our car. Be good out there and I really miss everyone.
