Saturday was moving day. Today, a week later we still have not received all our appliances. Two people will deliver a box the size of a milk carton, but then someone else has to come another day to install it. It's becoming quite frustrating, but I guess you have these 'problems' anywhere. Also, I come across most people not speaking English. I really thought that was the first language here, but unfortunately it's either Hindi or Telugu. I guess I will have to learn a new language :)
On Tuesday I hurt my leg and couldn't walk, so we had to send Mikey to school a day early. He has been doing so great!!! He really is adjusting amazingly well!!! On Wednesday I was so sick all day that we ended up in a clinic at night. It turned out I had food poisoning!! I got some medicine through IV, hope it was sterile :)
The total price of the doctor's physical and all the medications: $15. I still don't know how that is possible!!!
So instead of getting settled in the last few days, I spent my days in bed.
Once again, I was so glad Mikey could go to school and stay there until Robert was able to pick him up.
Today I hired a girl to come clean the house every morning. Of course she speaks no English so she brought her sister to translate. We also hired a driver and he should start today. I am excited because he does speak English (we stole him from the hotel where we stayed) and he is really nice with Mikey. Driving really is a skill here in Hyderabad. Robert was brave enough to take us out driving one night and he did really good. Especially considering that there don't seem to be many street rules :) You basically have to claim your territory at all times.
When I go shopping with Mikey, I feel like I'm out with a celebrity. People are still constantly taking pictures of him. So weird. But then again I think the Indian people are so beautiful, I want to take pictures of them all the time as well :)
I will update soon with some more pictures!!
