Hyderabad, maybe cooler

So today I am in Hyderabad, the girls should be here in a few more hours and I’ll go meet them at the airport. Because India has the worst website for booking train travel we had to travel separately. I went to the rail station at around 10pm and caught the train at about 11, it was a little late. I have a hard time expressing the joy I felt getting into the cool AC of the train for the overnight trip to Hyderabad. It takes about 9 hours and I slept blissfully most of the way.
When the train arrived in Hyderabad I started chatting with the fellow next to me and he offered to take me to an internet café close to the airport, we talked some more and he wanted to show me a little of Hyderabad and his home. Neresh turned out to have family in the states and helped me get around in Hyderabad and explained the town a little bit. I wish him luck with his attempts to get an H1B visa!Hyderabad, maybe cooler

And it does seem a little cooler, but it's also not 2pm yet.
