And the fun begins...

I'll just start this post with a warning that it will not be as cheery and optimistic as the last few have been. This week has not been all that great for us, let me tell you the story.
Tuesday was just like every other day, we all got ready, ate breakfast, and met Claver at the hostel in order to get ready to leave. Everything after that was different. It started when we got on the bus. It was super crowded that day, it was rush hour after all. We had to push our way on board and when we got on, Kristie realized that her camera which she usually had attached to her person was missing. We looked all over the floor of the bus, but we could not find it. We told Claver about it when he met us at the train station and he told us that he would go back and ask the shop owners in front of the bus stop if they had seen it. He seemed really optimistic about it, actually. Needless to say, Kristie was upset and refused to ride in the ladies compartment of the train. She actually challenged Claver by asking if it were illegal for her to ride with the men. It wasn't, so she stayed with them. I, however, enjoy riding in the ladies compartment. There's simply more room in there and you don't have to worry about being in super close quarters with men. I went and got in line over there.
The train on Tuesday was the most packed I have ever seen it. Any place that a person could be squished into was filled with a person. I was fortunate enough to make it onto the train just in time to get in position to get off the train at the appropriate stop and when I got off the train I could only find Claver. He told me that he didn't think that the others had been able to make it onto the train and that they should be coming with the next train. Sure enough as the next train arrived, I saw Bryce get off (it's really not difficult to spot any of us because of our skin color and how tall we all are in comparison to the locals). However, Kristie was not with them. They informed us that she had gotten onto the same train as we had, but she must not have been able to get off.
Then Bryce gave us a new bit of information to share with us. He had been pick pocketed while on the train and could no longer find his wallet. Claver was shocked and told us that someone(s) must have picked us out and are following us. Well, that made me super paranoid having not had anything stolen from me yet. Claver decided that Rohan, since he is of Indian descent, would not be in any danger of being pick pocketed, so he sent him along to the hospital. He then took Bryce and I to an internet cafe close by to look up the numbers for Bryce's credit and debit card so that he could cancel them. Bryce was out of minutes on his phone so he had to use mine to make the call which is why I ran out of minutes. Although, I am going to go and refill it after this. After the internet cafe, we went to the police station at the train station to file a report. Finally, after all that, we went to the hospital where they stuck us in surgeries for the rest of the day.
Since Tuesday everyone has been a little on edge and we have resolved to never take the public transport here again. From now on it is only auto rickshaws or cabs.
To move on to a different subject, we went to a mall yesterday to just forget about the past couple of days and catch a movie. This mall was very westernized with a Reebok and Nike store. It even had a T.G.I. Friday's, which we ate at. It was nice to have a change to something familiar. The movie we saw was called Ek Second (One Second Can Change Your Life). It was honestly the worst movie I have ever seen, even worse than Rainbow if you can believe that. The acting, camera work, sets, music, dancing, everything that you can imagine was just terrible and the story line was even worse. It's a little disheartening to watch Bollywood movies in the states and be completely in love with the genre and then come to Bollywood's capital and only see the worst movies. Maybe next week will be better?
I know that I've just been complaining, so I'll stop now. I promise that the next update will be better. :D I love and miss you all. India isn't that bad, no matter how much my cohorts complain. Something like this can happen no matter where you go. It was just bad luck is all.

P.S. The monsoon season has officially started. You have never experienced rain until you have experienced a monsoon here. The streets are just running with water and the amazing part is is that within 20 of the rain stopping, the water is magically gone. The days are not as hot now and the humidity has definitely gone down.
