After visiting the yoga demonstration we all met outside the port and did the 10 minute walk thru the industrail port to the main gate where we would approach hundreads of autorickshaws which has become a common form of transportation for us. While 15 men are trying to convince us that we need to go with them we accept a friendly man who immediately whips out two notebooks hidden under his driver seat filled with pictures, letters and postcards and everyone has written something along the lines of johnny is the best! Or thank you johnny! And we are happy but not suprised to find that many are signed sas spring '05 or sas fall '07. We trusted our decision and were excited to join his book at the end of the day. We had nooooo idea what we should do/where we should go so we kinda left it all up to johnny to decide and man did he do a great job or whattt. This first day in india will have later become the best spontaneous day of exploring we've had!! We had a few things in mind for the day and we made it very clear to eachother we were to get our saris and lots of soulvineers and markets and hopefully henna is we can find! So first place we go is this market shop that the drivers obviously know the people who work there because it was not cheap they wanted 40 dollars for the cheapest ones and we were like uhhh that can't be right but we stayed anyway and all tried them on which is what you see me doing here in the picture! It was so fun and we took such silly pictures with all our colors on and then left the store. Our drivers were like what did u buy and we said nothing and they didn't understand why and we said cheap cheap! (I mean were in india comeee on) so they take us to a much cheaper store and we all get saris for about 250 ruppees which converts to just over 5 dollars. Perfect. (Sorry getting nauseaus on the bus gunna pause for a while...)
