And to all a good night.

Ok, closing my first day in India and heading to bed. Here's how they are treating me here. It sucks.

Note the ashtray and matches--when was the last time you saw an ashtray, let alone one that encouraged you to smoke in bed?
Had to throw this last one in. When I came in last night, there was a corkscrew and knife and a dish of chocolates. The chocolates were neatly encased in plastic (above). It is as if someone is trying to please the fairies. Every evening more appears at the shrine. Tonight the bottle opener was accompanied by a bottle of red wine, and the knife was there with oranges to cut into. The chocolates are still cases in plastic, but now there's a wee sweet. But the kicker is the "good night" mat with slippers. =)

And with that, I'm off for now.
