Day 1 Notes

Today we arrived in our rooms and took our first showers out of a plastic bucket. We learned the true degree of India's heat, staying inside to juggle a soccer ball for most of the morning. Since we arrived at MCC before 7AM local time, we had time for a walk around before lunch after the soccer, and we found a cricket game, a farm, and an Indian student named Jackson Benedict who promised to invite us to the parties he regularly organizes.

Tomorrow is John Lennon's birthday, so tonight some students and faculty at Madras Christian College, where we are staying in Chennai, conducted a tribute concert. The event lasted for about two hours, and featured several different groups, and even a speech by the college president.
