I am going to India this summer for an intensive Hindi program. The webpage for the program is here: http://www.aiislanguageprograms.org/
I will be staying in Jaipur, Rajasthan.
It's a beautiful city. Jaipur has a "semi-arid climate" (desert and scrub) but I'll be there mostly in the monsoon months. It's a beautiful old city, founded in 1727, and one of the first planned cities. It's known as the Pink City because in 1853 all the buildings were painted pink for the Prince of Wales' visit.
I think I'll be staying somewhere in this area:
and I'm guessing that my classes will be at Rajasthan University.
I bought my plane tickets yesterday. I'll fly from Detroit to Newark and then Newark to Delhi (14 hr 20 min flight - yikes).
From what I've read in the orientation material, the program is going to be a LOT of work. But it's going to be verrry much worth it.
I don't think I've adequately conveyed my excitement in this post; I'm not sure how to do that except by saying I'm really really reeeeeeaaaaallllyyy excited!
