What does one do when they have an 18 hour layover in Calcutta, India? Whatelse than go see “Snakes on a Plane” (yes, Rebecca, I actually saw it and it was as awesome as we hoped!!! loved every minute of it, wished you and Ward were with us!)
It was really great to have a total Westernized few hours. The movie was at a proper western mall, we got coke and popcorn and loved the movie- we were the only ones laughing in the theatre, maybe the movie was a little too American in its humor b/c the locals didn’t seem to find it as funny as we did. Then we did some shopping at the mall, i got some totally cute pink capris for the next stage of our trip- Thailand, Australia and NZ. And Michael got an Indian Cricket Jersery…Cricket is HUGE over here and Michael and I can’t follow the game to save our lives, but we love asking the Indians who their favorite cricket team is because they get so excited and say- INDIA!
We leave India tonight or tomorrow morning actually (2am flight to Bangkok) and we are a little sad b/c we will miss being the celebrities that we are in India…we took to calling ourselves Ashael or Michley ( ala Brangelina)–whoever was doing the calling of course put their name first!) We got stared at constantly, always called out to- “Hello”, waved at, asked where we were from and when we said America, they would always say, “good country!” We are not thinking our celebrity status will last in Thailand…so we are enjoying our farewell tour of India today!
p.s. took our first night train last night and some how got upgraded to first class! Was a total treat!
I get it–just making a joke. After all, we've been Ervlynn for a good while…
I think you miss the point. Us as a couple is Michley. Google brangelina or bennifer. You need to get briefed on pop culture mom. LOL.
An 18 hour layover sounds awful, but you did a good job of making it fun. Be sure and send us a picture of the Michley in the cricket jersey and Ashael in the pink pants.
