What?

The first day was crazy but after sleeping the next morning I felt so much better. The next few days we spent our time getting adjusted and getting to know the town.  The weather is beautiful is here and the people for the most part are very friendly. I went to a few shops to get my tunic and more traditional Indian clothing. I was shocked how cheep the clothes were. I got two tops, two pants, fabric and hand tailored all for 1,040 rupees, about 22 American dollars. I walked around town with my roommate and we met a few local children. They were adorable, we took pictures, tried to converse with each other and I even showed them how to use my camera. I wish I could bring them home with me! We also walked to Old Manali which was also beautiful. I was full of shopping, street vendors, and so many people. In addition we also walked to a different part of Manali, less populated. Out of town was exceptionally dirty, full of stray dogs, cows, beggars and weed. Manali is commonly known for being able to grow very potent weed. Weed grows everywhere here, I couldn’t believe it. It’s on the side of the road everywhere I go. You would never see that in the United States!
