Visit to India Institute of Technology (IIT)

 To get to the IIT campus we had to travel through the slums. 

Notice the Slum Goats and Slum Chickens. They just roam around the streets eating garbage.

The Hotel


We are staying at the Ginger Hotel in Chennai.  The rooms are tiny compared to American hotel rooms.

 The slums are right outside the walls of our hotel.
 Entrance to our hotel.

 Bathroom in hotel. Notice the hose for washing yourself.

 I can't figure out how to rotate pictues so this is a sideways view of the shower

Leavin on a Jet Plane

We left Atlanta at 1:55 PM bound for Chicago. Then on to Brussels, Belgium. Its an 8 hour flight if your curious.

My seat was next to a girl who was returning to Brussels after studying in Orlando for 1 year...Also she was sick and I'm pretty sure she is the reason for my sore throat and headache.  Damn Europeans. She did take a few pics for me out of the window of the plane though.














Belgium I have to say is kinda boring. There wasn't much to see in the airport.... except our plane being worked. Didn't make me feel very confident.


Our plane waiting to take us to India from Brussels

There was this strange wooden statue of people walking.

Our flight to Chennai, India was in the greatest airline ever Jet Airways. What makes it the greatest airline of all time you ask? They have free drinks.

Indian Airplane Food- better than the American Airlines Airplane food

 Arrival in Chennai, India.

Even at 12:30 AM traffic is crazy in India
