Set up some appointments to talk to people, so feeling less deskbound. Talked to Sabina Faiz Rashid, a medical anthropologist, about some of the difficulties in research with people living in slums. (She asked, 'You're going to be here for at least a year, right?' Umm...).
Today I'll be going to the Centre for Urban Studies who conducted a slum census, to talk about possible study sites.
Leisure-wise I went to the zoological gardens with my flatmate Hailey.
Very peaceful and nice to get away from the pollution of the city, but many people ignored the animals to stare at us and take photos.
The rhinocerous is a friendly and pacific animal that likes nothing more than to be teased by children with sticks.
