Day 4

I've been up since 4:30 am as its too hot to fall back asleep. At about 9:30 am there was a soccer game between different departments of AIESEC that Andy and I took part in. I was exhausted in about five minutes, as it was blistering hot. After soccer,  all the AIESECers took us to a roadside shop where we had Indian Chai (tea). We later went to the first restaurant in Baroda with A/C. It felt like paradise for the hour and a half we sat here as the A/C was pumping and we were eating great food for a cheap price.

We then roamed the city for some time. Cows were everywhere as well as stray dogs. We had sugarcane juice and got local phones. A group of AIESECers then took Andy and I to the Tower area of Baroda, where there were many shops and markets as well as a huge courtroom and Lord Shiva's statue.

There is no real shower where we have been living. There is, more or less, a small bucket you fill up with water and pour on yourself. There is also neither a standard American toilet or toilet paper. Instead theres a hole in the ground.
