We met our host families yesterday and I am currently in a
home with nine other people. My host mother’s name is Neha and she has four kids
named Manisha (10), Mahima (6), Babita (3), and Parth (1 on the 24th). I have such
a respect for my host mother. When we first met, she grabbed my suitcase and
immediately lifted it onto her head. She cooks dinner for nine other people
and does everyone’s laundry. One of the biggest differences from home is eating while seated on the floor and bathing with a bucket. All of the children are so nice and
happy. At times it is hard to communicate, but we manage through hand gestures
and the few English words that they know. I have really been enjoying the food
and spending time meeting everyone else’s host families. Other than the HUGE (2 inch) spider that I failed to kill in my room last night, all is well.
M&D: Miss you very much and I hope you are enjoying your time with Elizabeth.
Tell Bear I miss him. To any of my friends who are reading this I hope you know
that I am thinking of you and that I have not been missing much! J
See you soon!
Meredith
Bear says he misses you too. Have fun!
