Regardless, it would be unusual for us to not check in every two or three days with all the internet cafe's. Hopefully we'll get internet connection in house, but I honestly have no idea what that's going to entail.It's funny, but setting up house here in the USA is very familiar to me, expectation and action-wise. I'm not sure what to expect or how to go about getting what I need in India, so it'll be a lot of fun finguring out how a new-to-me social/economic system works.India is actually one of the easiest countries of a only-English speaker to navigate so I'm probably a bit less intrepid than it appears... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The issues with nagaland have been going on for a long time. Similiar to kashmir in that way I suppose. IIRC I don't think the Indian government allows "standard" tourists into the far eastern part of the country just for these reasons.And it's really far away from where I'll be. It's hard to remember that India is really big. From Shimla in the north to Bangelore in the south is about the same distance between the Canadian border and Dallas. Big country.The most important thing for any traveler to remember is to laugh at yourself. You're going to look funny, talk funny, and do all the wrong things, so you should enjoy a good laugh at yourself. It makes people more friendly and helpful to you when they know that you know you don't know what your doing.... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />joe b.</blockquote>
