Don't Drink the Water

Downtown Nagpur
Well as careful as I thought I was being, it was not careful enough... I went out with some people after work on Saturday (yes, the work week is Mon-Sat here) and they showed me around Nagpur a bit more.  We got some food at a restaurant and I didn't know at the time but one of the items had water that hadn't been heated.  I luckily haven't been really sick, just some stomach pains - it's a reminder of how careful I need to be about what I eat and drink.  I've also been battling with some of the bugs that have been feasting on my arms.  I came equipped with deet, I'm sure this isn't environmentally friendly but I went to town spraying the floor of a doorway that leads from my room to an outside patio.  When I came home from work today I didn't spot a single bug!

These are some pictures from when I went downtown, they aren't very clear but you can see some of the "two wheelers" (as opposed to four wheelers, one of the girls asked if I owned my own four wheeler) - these are the most common mode of transportation.
