Overall it was a GREAT expierence it was very challenging. I would def do it again! I learned their way of life and had to grow up fast since i had a culture shock as soon as i got off the plane in Hyderbad. I peformed dramas 3 to 4 times a day all around a city the size of Chicago. It was interesting watching the people live their lives and learning at the same time. i would tell someone going to be aware of the surroundings bc as nice as it was it still is a 3rd world country

I was there with Teen Mania. I went with a bunch of teenagers from all over the US. I was apart of a drama that spread the gospel to those who were wiling to listen. i fortunately went with my sister, just knowing she was there was comforting, knowing i wasnt alone in a country literally 10,000 miles away ( or so it seems ). i ate peanut jelly and butter sandwiches almost every lunch had MRE's ( Made Ready to Eat ) meals. i was in the greedy part of the drama, i was 2 show the crowd that being greedy doesnt always work in life. some teens choose 2 stay 2 months some just choose 1. i was there for the 4th and it was interesting cuz it was the 1st time ( and still only ) where i really knew what it meant to be free, that day i realized what a privaledge it is 2 have such simple things as a toliet, over there if u had 2 go # 2 u had 2 squat over a hole ( let alone u dare not let the paper go down the hole, there plumbing system couldnt take it ). I made some pretty cool friends and am to this day ( 11 years later ) still looking for. i have memories that i will keep forever bc of the different situations i was in. there is a lot more i can say but will update more later right now its 2 am and im getting tired... SMILE!

Indias currency is cheaper then USA's so you wont need as much as you might think ( after the plane ticket )

Thumbs up is our Dr. Pepper
there food does taste different but still good, i came back a month later with whitter teeth :)
The sites are amazing, if i new what it was called i would tell u but there is a castle just outside of town that is a must see.
They believe it or not had a baskins robins there.
The general behavior is people over there is a little more sneaky then those here, they are much more aware of what you leave unlocked and open.
They always wanna help and take a picture with you.
If you ever meet Noma ( thats what we called him ) give him a few bucks for me i o him at least that much after all he did for me, not to mentio the countless nights he snuck out and got pizza for us at 12 am.
The traffic there is worse over there, they prolly dont even have the yellow and white lines on the road.
They really do let cows roam the roads in some areas of the country
There is usually at least 1 person in a group over there who does know how to speak English.
