today was the most boring day ever,
it was the most waste-time day of all.
we spent the entire day registering ourselves into AIIMS.
it took us almost 3hours to settle the payment for school fees,
and took us another 3hours to meet the HOD of surgery,
so that he could allocate us to different surgical teams.

argh, the people here are so inefficient !!
and it can get rather frustrating at times !
oh well, that is how the system in india works.

oh yes, the weather in india is extremely HOT now !!
its 43degrees here !
its like walking in an oven, super suffocating,
i bathe at least 2times a day, no choice !!

anywae, here are some pictures we took yesterdae !
after touring don's mansion, we decided to drive out to meet dehan and jianbang.
it was their last day in new delhi,
before they head up to manali for another 4weeks of hospital posting.

since there were 8 of us, excluding the driver,
poor mimi, jenica and amanda had to sit in the boot.

thats their punishment for being small and skinny girls.
hee.

first stop was the indian gate,
and den we headed off to sarogini market to jalan jalan !

the indian people can get quite scary at times.
they just follow you non-stop, bugging you to buy their stuffs,
and even after you tell them "NOT INTERESTED" x 10 million times,
they still follow you around, bugging you to buy it !!
super hardsell man !

and they love their spices !
everywhere we went, there was spice shop.

our first meal in india was at an india fast food restaurant,
it was recommended by don's younger brother,
supposed to be clean enough for first timers to india to consume.
the food was pretty decent and really affordable !

next stop, we visited the hospital that dehan did his 4weeks of posting in.
the hospital was super old and run down,
althou its supposed to be a government hospital,
the place was really old, dirty and pathetic.

i dunno if there were a shortage of beds,
but there were many patients/random people lying along the corridor.
nevertheless, it was a real eye-opener !

after the hospital visit, we went to visit the boy's hostel room.
it was really bad compared to the ones we have at don's place.
hee.

dehan and jianbang treated us to yummy fruits !!
they discovered a fruit called musk melon !
its like a mix between rock melon and honeydew,
and i must say, its really good :)
we ended up eating up all their melons !!
last stop, back to don's place for dinner before sending dehan and jianbang off.
because dehan and jianbang were heading up to manali for their rural hospital posting,
they requested to have a normal chinese dinner before they leave,
and don's mum prepared a yummy buffet spread for us !!

and guess what !
don packed 50 char siew paos in his suitcase from singapore, for his parents !!
they specially heat up 4 pork buns for dehan and jianbang

india has been really fun so far !
yay :)
