It's higher than it looks

Today we entered the Kumbalgarh Fort, and let me tell you, it is HUGE. On the drive there, we saw water buffalo having a great time in the floods. You would pass, and see little heads and backs of them poking up out of the water. I'm sorry to say that I got a headache, but we didn't have any regular aspirin, so I took a tylenol pm to soothe it, but now I can barely keep my eyes open, so I have to finish this post early. Bye.

Meherangharh or however you spell it

I've been having fun in India, except for the fact that there aren't a lot of other tourists, so many local people are staring at us like we're martians. Others are laughing like we're wearing clown outfits, and the rest are taking pictures of us that they'll probably email to their friends, saying: "Look! Tourists! They actually exist!" I think it's rude and it makes me feel out of place being here. I mean, back home I don't point and stare at every foreigner I see.

It's weird how some people seem intimidated by us. At the beginning of the day, me and mom drove with the tour guide up to Meherangharh Fort (that's actually how it's spelled) which we had a great view of from our hotel balcony. There's the small side, and there's the big side, this place is on the colossal side, sending a shadow over half the city.

Later, I was tortured by mom when she spent 1 hour just looking at rugs in a store. In India, it was an old tradition for a merchant to give their customers opium while doing business. Now opium is illegal, so today they offer us tea or any other beverage. My mom got a Diet Coke at the rug store, and they gave me one too, but, many of you may know how gross they are, so I gave it back. I  said I wanted a regular Coca-Cola. When they came back and gave me the soda, I was very surprised, and I thought: "I don't know what you thought I said, but I sure didn't say Diet Pepsi!" But I accepted it anyway, because I didn't want to bother them too much, and let me tell you, Diet Pepsi is just as bad as Diet Coke.

The Big Bang of my Blog

The Big Bang was the start of the universe, so it is also going to be the start of this weekly story of my life. I'm wondering how to start my blog, because I'm not a master at introductions. In fact, I've never written a document of my daily life before, of course, being in india isn't my usual daily life. It's day 9 of the trip, but this is only the first entry, and we have 10 more nights here. In the first week, a lot of zany things happened (as I expected) Like: realizing that there are more cows roaming the streets here than there are taxicabs in NY, also, there are so many traffic sings and lights, the problem is, they're all invisible. We rode camels to the sand dunes to watch an unsatisfying sunset, we got ripped off countless times at stores, and our driver got a phone call from the company he worked for, stating he had won the award for best driver of the company, while he was driving us to a hotel.
       Now, let me introduce myself, I am Owen Reese, currently 11 years old, I live in Mill Valley, California, I am a big fan of  The Walking Dead and Heroes (they're TV shows).  I LOVE comic books, and other Science fiction stories, And I like to create stories, write, and, draw. I enjoy action movies, and I am always asking my parents to let me get Minecraft (it's a VERY famous computer game that might "distract me from my homework" says Dad). I guess I should go Because the first prehistoric life is emerging. Bye! (photos aren't uploading, so we'll get some on next week)
