I've been here almost a month now and i'll be here for the next 8 months. so...if anyone's planning a jaunt to south asia, let me know.<br />I'm living in Chennai, which is the biggest city in the south. I'm really loving it here...every day is really exciting and new. I'm working at a small independent publishing house and we put out handmade silk screened children's books and novels. I'm working with a bunch of Indian writers and artists. I live in an apartment and take bucket showers and do bucket laundry. I shop at the corner market for vegetables and cook indian food every morning. craziness. who knew my life could change so drastically so fast? Yesterday I went to a concert of tradiational Baul musicians from West Bengal...they all used instruments i've never seen before. This week I'm going to Bangalore on a "business trip" with two of my coworkers...we're going to visit bookstores that carry our books there...and check out the crazy IT scene.
