Experience in Delhi, 2004
When I was a freshman in high school, my family was fortunate enough to travel to New Delhi and stay with our friends, Meenaxi and Juni. Meenaxi had been begging my dad to come and perform eye surgery and my parents thought it was the perfect opportunity to expose my brother and I to a world we had never experienced before. My mom, dad, sister, brother, and I all jetted off to India during Christmas break for a trip we would never forget...
