August 28, 2010, & August 29, 2010

Saturday August 28- Yesterday was Karissa's birthday and earlier in the week was the birthday of Andrew's host dad (another IES student), so we went to Vasant Kunj (where Andrew lives) to celebrate the birthdays. It was a lot of fun and as usual Andrew's host mom made us excellent Indian food. She also gave each of the girls a set bangles! Some of stayed later, while others left. Those of us that stayed later, Andrew's mom showed us her huge collection of bangles, she has two drawers full of bangles. She gave us more bangles and I got two sets. One is red while the other is green, orange, & white.

After that, Everly, Anisha, Paramita, & I went to a club near our house. Anisha and Paramita are two Indian girls (both working) staying with us. The club was a bit expensive, really crowded, and they played ok music, we didn't stay long but had a fun time.

Sunday August 30- Everly, Me, Karissa met Andrew, his host parents and his brother, Abhisek, at a market to look for saris and bangles. I bought two classy saris. One is red and black, while the other one is blue and a tinted brown. We had to get the blouses tailored so we will not get them for a week. I am really excited about them, because I got a good price on them and they are not too flashy or heavy!
