Surprize! You're going to India. Clay's boss asked him to go to India with him from the 17th-21st of November. How could he give up an opportunity like that? So, he did. It was a very educational trip and the purpose of it was commemorate the creation of 435 and 436 Sqn during the second World War. His unit, 435, was born out of India. Pretty cool. Just a little bit of culture shock. Photos never do things like this any justice, but, hopefully you'll all get a hint of his experience!
A few cool facts:
1. As India is a commonwealth country, we have a High Commissioner and not an Ambassador there.
2. There are only two McDonalds in Delhi and one is at the airport and has no beef on the menu.
3. Honking in traffic is not rude and is actually considered a means of signalling to other drivers.
4. The red dot on a woman's forehead means that she is married.
5. The Honourary Colonel of 435, Loreena McKennit, narrated the Tinkerbell movie and sang some songs. Google her name and Tinkerbell to hear more.
6. Thankfully, Clay didn't get Delhi belly.
