In Raxaul

October 2nd, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized

I arrived in Raxaul last night after the very long 24.5 hours train ride which I hear can sometime stretch to 30 so I am only complaining a little.   Today was a holiday (Ghandi’s birthday) so no one was working.  Instead I had a tour around the very maze-like hospital (not unsimiliar to Strong but minus Strong’s grid-like numbering and with a few dogs lying around). 

 After the tour, a PTist who hsa been here 7 years took us on an outing to the neighboring lepor colony.  Yes that’s right, I faced my fears.  The clinic there was clean and bright and hopefully even if a few of those bacilli did manage to stick in my nose my immune system shouldn’t be too compromised by the heat and the curry that it can’t fight it off.

 In other events my blue salwar kameez (fun new Indian outfit) is making my hands nice and blue and I can’t even imagine what it is doing to my perspiring back.
