AAPI India Trip 2011!

From WSU School of Medicine, we're a group of medical students, fresh out of our first year, in hopes of expanding our foundation of medical knowledge by traveling to CMC Vellore in Tamil Nadu, India. In our travels and time working at CMC, we hope to gain invaluable insight of the Indian health care system and broader perspectives of not only physician-patient relationships but basic human relations that we know will make a lasting impact on our perceptions of medicine.

Taj Mahal

What a cool and beautiful morning! After our 5:15am wake-up call, we visited the Taj Mahal just after sunrise. Our short walk up to the gate turned into a fast sprint as our tour guide suggested we walk faster to get ahead of a tourist group of 50! Once inside, everyone was in awe of the Taj Mahal, the gardens and the weather! We now have new standards for our future husbands, as the Taj Mahal is the epitome of love ever lasting!

We are going to try and post pictures of tonight, talk to you when we get back to Delhi tonight!

Jen and Shivani

These pictures (and the blog) are great! You guys look like you're having fun. And more than anything I'm shocked Jen was able to get up 5:15 am!

p.s. I think the "fast sprint to get ahead of everyone else" is an Indian thing you guys might end up taking back with you. My parents still make me do it as we are walking into crowded restaurants. :)
