I am spending a semester teaching at a school in Chennai, India and the teacher from Chennai is in my classroom in Hazel Park, MI. This was arranged through the Fulbright Classroom Teacher Exchange Program. We will be in Chennai until late January 2012.

Arrival

I was greeted with an overwhelmingly warm welcome at the Chennai airport by my exchange partner's colleagues and relatives. Covered in flowers, I was whisked from the airport at midnight. Having only napped briefly in the previous 24 hours, the scene felt surreal. I saw my first cows wandering the streets of a large crowded city.
