We are big fans of The Sopranos so we didnt think it twice while we were in New York, we rented a car and went to see some of the locations filmed around New Jersey. We were short of time since we had to visit some friends from Vineland but next time we wont miss the opportunity to visit the Bada Bing!!... read more

Day 1 - Sunday January 17th 2010, 7:54pm EST: I’m currently in the air on my way to Australia! First stop, LA to then board my Qantas flight to Sydney! It’s pretty boring being on a plane alone, knowing you can’t sleep or the jet lag will end up killing you! So, I took out my little mini laptop and decided to begin the blogging process! Have you ever decided to do something and then once it comes time to actually do it you realize you’re actually crazy? I began to think that as I was walking to my gate…alone! Obviously I’m excited but it is a little overwhelming to think that in about a day I will be in Sydney…alone…trying to find a place to live and a job so that I can afford to ... read more

While I sit as patiently as possible at the airport, I realize that I have done pretty much all that I can do to prepare for this trip. I've read books on India, studied Hindi, researched provinces I will be visiting, and brainstormed ideas to help with my placement. However, from what I have heard and read, nothing can really prepare you for India. I have a feeling that all of my current expectations will be thrown out as soon as I land. After reading and talking with people who have travelled to India, I am embarking with thoughts of landing into a mess of people and an overwhelming smell. I'm taking a 14 hour overnight flight which lands in Delhi Saturday at 8:15 pm local time (10:45 am Atlantic). Sunday we have orientation all day ... read more

Getting into New York!! After a 8 hour 45 minute flight, followed by another hour connecting flight we touched down from Ohio into NYC after a very long day. Supprised NIkki didn't kill me!! After getting home (USA one) we ate and went straight to bed after popping some melatonine (thanks jess, good recommendation). The next day we were up at 6 to go to NYC!!! No time for jetlag. While nikki and her mate nat who happenend to be over there was on the sex and the city tour that I almost got dragged on, me ... read more

I watched a movie called “European Vacation”, when I was a kid in India. It is the comedy of a fat American family with boisterous kids who do their best to catch the flavor of Europe, but just don't know how to be good tourists. They have difficulty adapting to new cultures and cannot drive small European cars nor speak local language. After a number of encounters and adventures, they manage to successfully complete their trip. That movie showed Europe in its entirety and made such a mark on me that I vowed to visit Europe when I was older. I have always dreamt of the perfect European vacation. To spend considerable time in each place and get soaked in the history, art, literature, architechture and culture that most of the great European cities offer; as ... read more
