Pondicherry

This week we have been doing more of the same ward rounds. Mostly icu
with a few odds and ends for good measure. I really enjoy the icu
rounds here.. It is very varied, we get to see lots of snakebites,
leprosy, skin diseases etc.. So its quite interesting. There is a lot
of cardio there too which i also really enjoy.

On thursday evening, john and his family cooked for us at their house.
All 6 of us went, and we had some traditional indian food, sitting on
the floor. The food was great. After dinner, i had brought some
english coffee so i made them some of that to try... They weren't that
keen until they put an enormous spoon of sugar in it! John's father
said during dinner that as we had left our parents and families and
friends behind, they would be our indian family. We were all very
touched by their generosity!

This weekend alex and i went to dindigul to have a chill by the
swimming pool and a meal, then we met up with the other elective
students and took a bus to pondicherry, a french colony just south of
chennai. It is now 2 in the morning and we have just got off the first
bus and have an hour of travelling left. We're all looking forward to
relaxing by the sea! Probs will sleep for a while though!
