so...........I had my first experience with a tremor!
I sitting at my desk in my room, next to my window, and I'm just chilling, and ALL of a sudden the burglar bars on the second floor (my room is on the second floor) starts to shake
so I'm like who outside my window??
and then I was like how de f*ck they get outside my window
then I say WAIT, why my bureau jumping?????


Lord Trinidad!

it is SUCH an experience

a cute little boy!

This is a rice drawing, the rice is dyed and then dropped on the page, not stuck down. pretty amazing




so tonite the hindu community at school put on a Divali celebration show
it was REALLY great
all the Saris and the rice designs the singing and so on
and then they explained the story of Mother Lakshmi, and Divali Sita and Ram and why the light the dias (the little candles) to illuminate the darkness (which is ignorance)

for most of the nite I was feeling VERY ignorant
of their religion and customs
but I think maybe I MAY know a little more after tonite
it was really great!
we saw a traditional hindu marriage and there was a Tasa Band
all of this was free mind you! THEN they gave us curry and some kinda green thing, Barfee and something else (sorry if I don't know all the names) for dinner
I love it!

















Mother Lakshmi

this is just a cute little girl

















Namaste!
