Hong Kong and Day One in Bangalore

I met up with four other students at the San Francisco airport and began the journey to India.  The flight from San Francisco to Hong Kong was a tedious 15 hours.  We had a 4-hour layover in the Hong Kong air-port before boarding onto the 6 hour flight to Bangalore.

In comparison to the flight from Dulles to SFO, the international flights were AMAZING!  We are talking about pillows, blankets, movies on demand, free hot meals, free hot snacks, and free beverages!

After arriving in Bangalore at 2am, we were back at our apartments by 5am.  However, orientation started promptly at 8:30 am so we went a solid 2 days without sleeping.

 I have another day of orientation and a few days of handling the legalities of obtaining residency.  On Monday I will begin taking classes at Christ University.  My class schedule has not been finalized yet, but I will keep you all updated.  I will be sure to take more pictures!
