Some Culture

These are some pictures of my bedroom here. It is fantastic, I really love it.

And here is some culture for you: We went shopping to get bangles (although I didn’t end up buying any bangles, just earrings) and some of the girls got this powder/ink stuff that you put on yourself in cool designs. Then you leave it on for a few hours and then wash it off. It leaves behind these awesome designs for a few days. I took pictures of one of the girl’s arms, look how awesome it is!

Another interesting piece of culture: There is a type of fasting here that some of you might like – you don’t go completely off of food, but you go completely off of rice. I guess it must be a real pain to them to not eat rice or something.

One last piece: So first of all, we eat with our hands, so this bit of culture has to do with that. But in order for a meal to be really good here, you don’t just take taste into account. You also take into account how it feels between your fingers. Interesting, eh? I have to say, I really do love eating with my fingers. It is great – I get to relive my younger years :)
