Woke up early this morning to walk over to another host
family’s house to interview their host dad for a school project. Then came back
and did some homework and packed for Ahmedabad. We hung out with our host
family and we plan on seeing them again when we come back to Delhi. Our host
cousin picked us up around 3 and drove us to some random office in the middle
of nowhere so that we could meet the rest of the group before heading to the
train station. He then carried my 300 pound suitcase up like 6 flights of stairs…what
a great person.
We had some tea and snacks and left for the train station
about an hour and a half after getting there. We got to the train station
around 7 for our train that left at 8. The train station was absolutely insane.
A million people everywhere. We had to push our way through in order to get to
the gate, and then finally went onto the train. What a spectacle. Each train
car had 6 beds (3 bunk beds). We were all semi-close together, but there was at
least one person (in my case, 3 people), in every car that were not from our
program. We still found a way to hang out with each other and bond. The train
ride was 14 hours through the night, so we bonded for a while and then went to
sleep…aka tried to go to sleep but didn’t really sleep. I had to keep my back
pack with me on the tiny top bunk because these trains are known for theft.
SUPER FUN.
