It is amazing how used to food you can become, my food experience here has been...edible, but not great, and sure my Dad and I have had eggs and toast a few mornings in a row here, but it's certainly nothing like American food.

If I'm not missing the aspect of BEING home, it's missing the food! And not only is it just missing the food itself, it is also missing the easy convenience of being able to get it.
You either,
a) Have to get a cab to get to where you want to go,
Or
b) You have to walk.

And it's not that I mind the walking itself, it is the environment that you are walking IN. For those of you who have not been to India, the streets, especially in narrow roads, can be very dangerous! The drivers here, I would like to say, are "trained" to drive on the roads and have a keen foot on the brake. It doesn't matter whether the driver is in a car, cab, or on a motorcycle or bike for instance, they are used to pedestrians. A few times a car bumper has grazed my leg, and I almost got ran down by a motorcycle my first time in downtown Kolkata, but they are very careful, and will stop if they have to!

But it doesn't make it any less scary or dangerous!
