Yesterday went to Azalea, that's another school. Muhan came with me too. Again we were offered food and politely declined but honestly I had had a late breakfast not long before I left.
The teachers were quite quiet and sometimes I am not sure they entirely get what I am saying. I try to explain as best as I can and ask them if they want to ask me anything. One of the teachers seemed more competent than the others so I am hoping she will take the lead.
While I was with the teachers Muhan after spending some time with the children there, did some investigating into Kumar's life. He is the chap who sometimes takes us places and takes MT and D to work and back. Anyway, he is 27, got married 6 months ago, his wife is 23 and 4 months pregnant and there are 9 of them living at his place including his parents and he is the only one who works. It's another world!
On the way back we stopped off to collect my new India outfit, salwar (scarf) included. In total it cost me 750INR that's like $15 or 13GBP. Really quite chuffed with it. Tried it on last night and I just look silly with all of it-trousers, top and scarf. Could def wear the top and scarf with some skinny jeans. The trousers look like I am doing an impression of MC Hammer!!
Went to a little coffee shop too not far from the post office. Doesn't look like it gets much business as its kind of off the beaten track. Had a cup of Earl Grey tea and a piece of pineapple cake. It was a little dry and not sure how long it had been there for but it felt a little bit like being at home and going for tea and cake with friends which I appreciated.
Watched Kick Ass when we got back. We tried to find an Indian film but its hard when you need dual subtitles-English for me and Chinese for Muhan. Bit of a silly film but very watchable and enjoyable. Muhan has also given us a wok to use as she has two-thank you very much!
Started reading a book today called 2 States by Chetan Bhagat about an Indian couple who get married. Not got very far yet. May well read if we go for another adventure at the weekend. May be that we have to drive through the night so it will be a long old journey! But the temple we are headed to looks absolutely amazing!
