Le Temps Pour Le Week-end

It's weekend time again! Hooray! But, before that wonderful time commences again, I have a test in India in World Affairs. No big worries though. The test is over non-alignment, and we spent a great deal of time talking about that- A LOT! Seven of us are going to head south, to Tirupati. It is a very important pilgrimage sight for Hindus, and evidently sees more visitors per year than either Mecca or the Vatican. It should be great. We are taking an overnight bus down there, and have no idea how we are getting back. Trains are all booked up, and the bus situation doesn't look too good. No one seems to be worried though, and I am only partially, so we’ll see what happens. // On Tuesday, we went to the city and went out to eat with Tamu, a friend of Lila’s who goes to school in Hyderabad. We were going to go shopping, but quickly tired of that, and instead decided to go to Senior Pepe’s Mexican restaurant. Yes, Senior Pepe’s… a Mexican restaurant in Hyderabad. My selection was the chicken fajitas, and they turned out to be pretty good. It was great. After that, I went to get my hair cut. I cautiously tried to describe to the hairdresser what I wanted done, while hoping my conversions of inches to centimeters would turn out useful. But, it was fine. My hair is the shortest it’s been in at least a year and a half. I’m a real boy again. :-) // Later that evening, we went to a Bollywood film about a Mughal emperor marrying a Hindu woman. It was in Hindi, so naturally the entire story was lost on me. It was great for a Bollywood film though; filmed pretty spectacularly, and lacking any random scenes of pop music and crazy dancing. However, I couldn’t bring myself to sit through all three hours of it, and neither could Lila, so we left early and went to Pizza Hut. A deep dish, double cheese pizza has never been so good.
