Ok, solved the computer issue. Pictures will be coming soon. The first pictures will be of the family of stray cats that have managed to find me. A mother and four kittens. I am surprised it took me this long to attract them, it must be the time difference.
The stray animal situation here is heart-breaking, they are everywhere. But, there are even more stray people. I didn't walk 100 yards from the hostel before I was mobbed with beggars. And not your typical beggars either. These were mainly young mothers thrusting their babies into my arms asking for money. I quickly ducked into a mini-cab and was taken on whirlwind tour of the local shopping emporiums where everyone had a special deal for me because of the holiday. It took a lot of self-control, but I resisted their wares.
I have orientation in about 15 minutes, so I have to run. I will try to get the pictures up as soon as I can.

I may take in a stray young mother, but not a cat. I am allergic.
Best of luck! How did day 1 go? Chino said to bring back some fish. How are you?
Was any of the special holiday deals, good prices on Nehru jackets? Cause I wear a men's medium.
That brings back so many memories of the first time I got off a plane and saw that kind of poverty. I think EVERY American needs to experience it.
I'm rooting for the cats and am looking forward to finding out how they are doing. They got names yet?
