1-1. "MOP 96" spelled out in large lego-like blocks at the Nebraska airport.

1-4. Chris, Carl Miller (with coin), Alex, Kiran, Mike (smiling) in front of a Kit-Kat machine and a "Travelex Foreign Coin Exchange" machine that would only give us two-pence coins, which the Kit-Kat machine didn't accept.

1-8. A plane leaves Terminal 4 at Heathrow; three other planes are visible nearby, one with a KLM logo.

2-21. View of the Bhabha Atomic Research Facility (uh, I mean Centre) ... from my room, including soccer (football) field, a couple of buildings, lots of trees, and a couple large hills (mountains?) surrounding us.

3-1. A street in India: cars jammed on one side; a public transportation bus and some people walking on the other. View from an IMO bus.

5-1. India's Communications Ministry, or a train station, or something else, in a beautiful old British building.

5-10. Gateway of India. Build by the British to commemorate the landing of King George and Queen Mary; the last British soldiers were forced to march through it as they left the country; now a tourist trap.

6-25. Green bushes, a blue lake and far off mountains, and clouds smeared -- looks kind of like a painting.
