WHAT...???
I have to do what with my toilet paper? hmm...
I am still wrapping my head around the cultural differences I am about to be faced with such as the 'no left hand' rule... and 'bog roll-in-the-bin-not-in-the-loo' rule... and the toilets on the ever fresh smelling train... YUM :) :) But I am READY... ....
So since its 1.35am and I am yet to pack, I do believe 'tomorrow' has arrived a day early *mental distress signal initiated* but... nonetheless I shall mention some *fun facts* about India... (if you haven't caught on by now that would be our first visiting county - we meet at the airport in ,what 9 hours... ?!?!)
