(Jan. 14) This is Howrah Station, the main rail terminal for Kolkata (Calcutta). It is across the river from Kolkata because at the time it was built, the British had not yet constructed a bridge across the river. The current Howrah bridge is the second largest cantilever bridge in the world. I came to Kolkata to visit the USIEF (Fulbright-Nehru) office, which is in the American Center. Because of security restrictions, I could not take photos at the American Center. It is one of the few places in India where you can find side-by-side framed pictures of Biden, Obama, and H. Clinton (very heartwarming for someone away from home).

    (I actually already know the answers to these questions, but this is really just a test to see if I can post a comment).
