TAMIU Reading the Globe 2015-2016

We spent over twenty hours on planes. Fortunately, we had our travel mates sitting next to us all throughout, so we could sympathize with each other's jet lag. I spent the majority of the plane rides asleep, waking only for the meals provided by the great flight service. Carlos Fuentes RTGAmbassador After the transatlantic flight from Houston to Frankfurt, we got a taste of the polished, European lifestyle from the enormous Frankfurt airport. After the enjoyable Lufthansa flight to New Delhi, we completed airport procedures, met our friendly tour guide, and made our way to our hotel. Thus far, the most surprising aspect of the culture that I've seen here is Indian hospitality. I am writing this on our second day in India, so there is till much to see, but at this point the Indian idea of hospitality is surprisingly incredible. The service provided to us at our stay was very welcoming and attentive. We were all very grateful for their kindness. We enjoyed a night snack and a breakfast at Novotel, and each were balanced meals with curiously exotic flavors. The names of the foods were any and foreign. Although I will note that the experience was highly memorable, and I encourage all to step beyond their familiar comfort-zones so that you may enjoy the excitement of discovering foreign cultures.
