This blog will show you glimpses of my semester studying in Pune, India. I will portray a little bit of Indian life and culture with the images, although they will undoubtedly be taken through an outsider's lens. That perspective will evolve over the next 4 months as I learn how to make this wildly unfamiliar place feel like home.

Theme 2: Culture Shock
This week I am going to write about culture shock. It will be a hard theme to demonstrate through photos, though I will try my best. Nonetheless, I feel it is a particularly important theme right at this time because now that the initial excitment of the settling-in phase has passed, we have all started feeling the effects of living in such a different culture. I have had a lot of discussions recently with my program-mates during lunch, after class, or at the center about our reactions to a few topics I will be touching on this week.
