Kolkata - The 30 hour train ride from Chennai was surprisingly nice. I was in a compartment with a nice family, so we passed the time by talking. Once in Kolkata, I missed the driver at the train station, so I had to go in a cab. It was a painful 40 minutes of heat, exhaust and driving in circles. I finally arrived at the apartment of my host parents, where I have been staying since. The weather here has actually been quite pleasant - not too hot or humid. I have spent the weekend shopping (Kolkata has many more shops and malls than 5 years ago) and visiting. That is what the rest of the week looks like, too. Fun to be taken care of and not having to worry about transport or places to stay.
