Can't watch the Super Bowl - so I will blog instead

In India they drove on the opposite side of the wrong from USA.  I am a backseat driver with everyone at home, but nothing to compared to here.  Every type of vehicle just driving. There are no lines.  The traffic lights are just lights.  If someone drives through a red light everyone else does. It is crazy.  (Manila was the same way, but they drive on the right side of the road.)
People are selling anything when you are stopped in traffic.
Honking your horn in India means "watch out here I come", but in USA it means "Get out of the way you idiot!"  The trucks have painted on the back "Horn Please".

I thought there would be cows walking all over Mumbai streets.  I finally saw 5 standing on the side of a major road coming into Mumbai yesterday when Rohit drove me back to the apartment. They are not anywhere.  I am going to ask about this.  Where are the cows?

I could walk to work.  It is down the alley, but crossing the street to get to the building would be so dangerous.  I would have to remember to look the opposite way.

The taxi service will be picking me up at 615pm IST.  I have to sleep a little today, so I can survive the first night of work.  I feel it will be a rough couple of days of work.

I have to get to a store to purchase some items for the apartment. I will have to see today if I can.

Now - what happened to the Denver Broncos?  I am a fan but slightly embarrassed.  I could not watch it online, but watching the scoring updates was enough.

I will turn the WKLB radio on and try to get some sleep.  I have the alarm set for 1pm IST.
