Nov 27th: Leaving in 4 days

Things I'll Miss About India:

- The ACM Staff being my proxy parents (making me snacks, hugging me, telling me my crafts are nice)
- Tri-Daily chaha-sutti (tea break)
- Buying a coconut after yoga practice, having the man open it with a machete and drinking it right at the cart
- The ability to get clothes custom tailored for me for practically no money
- Exchange rates
- Rice and dal with every meal
- Not being allowed to wash dishes
- Not actually having real academic commitments
- Walking to school every day
- Riding on motorcycles/mopeds (sorry mother)
- Having people be unreasonably thrilled that i'm online/accessible at the same time as them
- Kinder-brand products

Nov 24th: I shaved my legs for this

I Can't Believe it's the Farewell Dinner Already

Top: Priyanka, our Bollywood teacher, and I
Bottom: Elizabeth and I represent how we were not trained to behave like proper indian ladies. 

Nov 21st: Reverse-reverse culture shock

Things in London That Reminded me of India (or Mordor):

Nov 19th: I'm sick again

At least my  host mother did not try to give me lukewarm, salted buttermilk this time.
i'm also too tired to use my keypad/mouse to make font size and formatting changes. pity me.

 sorry t, i wouldn't wear your bellatrix lestrange boots.

this font was art nouveau inspired. the food was inspired by angels. or the british. either one.  

Nov 14th: Culture Shock

Surprise: I went to London for Diwali break

There was a little bit of culture shock. Mostly in being able to say things to people and have them know what I was saying. 

Nov 7th: Frogs

 Yes, mother, these are directly influenced by my surroundings.

Nov 4th: Mahabaleshwar

Besides being the capital of British colonialism, I don't really understand what Mahabaleshwar is. 

 There were a lot of strawberries/strawberries in cream

 SURPRISE you're in latin america! 

Yeah I have no idea what this place was.

I would never have thought that all three of these pictures were taken in the same location.
