I made to Pune Yesterday and so far so good.
I am definitely missing American food already. My host family, I call them "aunty" and "uncle", are so fun to talk to. They are two very well educated people whose children are very successful in America.
The first thing I got to learn when meeting up with the group is the eating customs. Here, when eating you are to eat with your RIGHT hand, and serve with you , LEFTor vice versa.
My host family is vegetarian, and that has been the biggest change/challenge. I am used to eating meat with everything. As a substitute for meat, Peanuts and coconuts are used. I am not that fond of the nut flavor in my food, but I am sure I will get used to it.
Today, my roommate Angela and our buddy went shopping on Laxmi Road. it was very crowed and I had a small culture shock. But I bought some traditional clothing, and some bangals for my little sister Sugarfoot (pet name).
Tomorrow we go out with our host family to see more of Pune!
Stay Tuned!
