My new room

I had the pleasure of meeting Erik and Ryan's friends David and Lika yesterday. They'll be here in Chennai for two years and - lucky me - their apartment is less than a kilometer from my house! They also brought me a new camera to replace the one stolen in Pondicherry a few weeks ago, so I can now share some new photos of my own from Chennai.

Here are a few of my new home (apartment #4).

I know! The tree is over four stories tall, and fills my window with beautiful orange flowers - a nice break from the asphalt and cement of the city. I think it's a Royal Poinciana (aka Flamboyant) Tree.
