India

We are a few days into our trip, and so far I have felt the craziest cuture shock during our car rides. It is like being in a video game with cars overflowing with people, buses, huge truck, and motor cycles with entire families on them zooming by in every direction. People are always driving on the wrong side of the road or off the road as long as they keep moving.

Today was our first day in the eye hospital and the Indian doctors refreshed a few weeks worth of the neuro I have learned over the past few months. It was much different having patients in front of me with different eye problems instead of seeing pictures on a power point slide show. A lot of cataracts, glaucoma, and patients suffering from diabetes problems like diabetic retinopathy.

After we got back to the house we watched a game of cricket and then went in the back yard to play for a bit, I understand the game now and had a lot of fun.
