At the Tiger's Den hotel now. Apparently our door doesn't lock. Classy.

We had an... interesting night. Denny and Mike went off to find transportation for us. It took a long time, in the meantime, Nate started talking to a few people, like Nate does. And then he was talking to more people... and more people... the crowd at its maximum was about 50. It was, uh, somewhat intimidating. They were just talking and all, but Nate was somewhat surrounded, a few guys around the edges looked unsavory, David was definitely edgy, the women in our group weren't loving it. I tried to talk to a few guys near me, but they didn't know much English. They'd said two words in English, talk to each other in Hindi, and laugh hysterically, so at least we were all enjoying ourselves? I think the one guy was calling me brother, since he kept saying it and pointing to himself and pointing to me. Unfortunately, the same guy later tried to get my hat off of me, so my trust and happiness over the situation went kind of downhill. But that was after Denny came back, we had a van, we got luggage piled up, the second van showed up and... there was NO way we were going to fit 7 people and luggage into the second van. Denny started talking to the guys, who of course raised the price, argued for a while, called some guy Clay had been talking to, talked amongst ourselves, generally feeling very edgy, and finally got a third van negotiated for what was an... okay price, I suppose. John, Vince, Jacob and I rode with David in the second van, through a wedding procession which was cool, except I couldn't see anything between the luggage and my positioning. There were apparently fireworks, a generator in a truck powering lights, and the groom on a horse. Also lots of music. So we drove through that, not long after that most of the drive was silent, kind of crammed in with our luggage, got here, got our room, and I forgot there was going to be food. So we ate some, I had two glasses of water (well, almost two) when we found out that we proooobably should not drink that water. So I may or may not be in store for an interesting night. Other than that, the food was tasty, and it's time for bed.

Saturday, February 6th, roughly 11:45-11:55 PM local time

PS, days later: I had no gastrointestinal problems that night. Thankfully.
