I moved rooms this morning. I wasn’t expecting to, but when I went down to the front desk to ask if I could stay another night they said I could stay but I’d need to move rooms. The whole reason I wanted to stay was so that I wouldn’t need to pack all my shit up and move rooms so when they told me that I decided I’d just leave. I’m really glad I did, too. I’m at another place I looked at when I first got to Delhi. It’s only 200 rupees more a night, but it’s much nicer. I’ve spent a lot of time relaxing in this room today and I feel like I could do that again tomorrow. In fact, I probably will. I’m planning to stay again tomorrow night and might just extend my stay until I leave. I also saw a hotel out near the airport that isn’t too much. I may decide to leave and check in there for my final few days in Delhi.

I walked to CP tonight. I ate dinner at a restaurant and went to a big emporium selling a lot of different handicrafts. I think it’s a bit overpriced. Everything seemed to be of pretty good quality, but a lot of it was really expensive. I was going to buy some incense. When I went to pay for them the guy said I had to go wait in some line first and get a receipt and then come back to him and pay for them or show him the receipt and then go pay someone else. I was really confused and it sounded like such a big hassle for this small thing of incense that I just set it down and left. I’ve gotten quite impatient. If I sit down at a restaurant and don’t get service quite quickly I always have the urge to just leave, even though I know it’ll take way more time to find somewhere else and get served there. It’s the principal of it, though.

I’m still really excited to go back to the States. I only have a few more days and I’ll be gone. Yay!

Gratitude List:
Getting one day closer to going home
Skyping with Laura tonight. It’s been a while since we spoke
A comfortable bed and not having to move hotels tomorrow
