Fun with needles

So I thought I'd post some residual adventures from India that I didn't get around to doing when I was there  due to a combination of laziness and two broken arms.

Adventure 1: I got my nose pierced! In a dirty little shop in a dirty alleyway in the gold and precious gems bazaar of Jaipur. I did it because all the women in my class had their noses pierced and I thought they looked pretty; and also in a step towards my lifelong goal of looking more like Alice Dellal and Bambi Northwood-Blyth.

We're pretty much identical now, right?
After some intense haggling (I love a good haggle) the guy just bent over the counter and jammed the gold ring right through my nostril. I was so surprised I forgot to be in pain; so all in all it went well. Plus they tested my blood at the hospital and I didn't get any diseases, so that's awesome too.
