1) Walk around lost, ask many questions, and not understand the heavy accented English you get in return.
2) Trek what seems like miles and miles across the entire Dehli airport to finally find your airline carrier... But not be able to advance any further because you are too early. So FYI, that food court that you can see clearly beyond that dividing door is just a tease for the next 5 hours.
3) Drop an F-bomb--or two.
4) Regroup, find a seat, and get comfortable for the wait to come.
5) Write a letter.
6)Look through every picture on your camera. If you're like me, that will be no small feat. It kills time and feels like a magical journey through the last six months. Oh, and you will be sharing that journey, because the womannext to you will be peaking over your shoulder and looking, too.
7)YATZEE! Break out the dice and start playing! ...Who cares that you can't remember the proper scoring. Play anyways! And don't be alarmed when your neighbor looks at you blankly after you ask if he has ever played. (Fine by me! That's just one less Yatzee invitation he'll be getting in his life!)
8) Scribble down a really dumb awesome list to upload to your blog later, but only get to step number 8 before you grow bored of it...
9) Upon boredom, play more Yatzee! And FINALLY get that damned Yatzee you were trying for.
10) Intricately decorate an envelope.* (Yes, it is as exciting as it sounds.)
11) Realize that you still have 2 hours to pass...
*The envelope that you spent an hour so intricately decorating to send off to a friend will later be covered by 20 individual stamps at the Kalimpong post office due to their lack of one proper international stamp. At that point, you will have to fight back tears of frustration.
i want to know who that letter is to?
