So not the norm

There are so many thing to write about! How bout Calcutta first? Okay!

First day we arrived was very nice. We went to see the Mother Theresa's house. Part of it was a museum, and we saw her grave too.
Saturday- We went to William Carey museum/college. I didn't know he'd translated to much!!! Like 20+++ Indian dialects!!! So cool right??? He was also into science, and the guy there said he started science-based education here. I was all, "This guy learned an TRANSLATED 20++++ dialects? And I can hardly speak English! Sheesh."
After that Uncle Rajah took us to see a Banyan tree. When we first got there I thought, "So we're drving though a WHOLE FOREST to see one tree? This better be one cool tree." Turns out the forest WAS the tree! It was so cool! The compounds the tree was in was actually like a botanial garden, a lot of natural stuff. Got some great shots there.

Sunday-Went to church with Uncle Mohadeb. Then later on before we went to the slum churh Reagan said he felt sick. So mom and him stayed home and me, dad, Zoe, Uncle Mohadeb, Uncle Rajah & Akash went. It was like so packed inside the small hall...with all the kids. Then when we taught them how to dance to "Woohoo!" they all were jumping around and screaming cause they kept stepping on each others' toes. haha. They were all so cute though.
The adult service was interesting to watch. There was this really good guy playing the tabla (sp?). (The tabla is the Indian drum)

Then on November 1 was World Sunday School Day. It was fun/scary/interesting. So yea.

Now I am trying to finish my school-year before heading to Singapore for about a month.

I don't really remember you. If reality worked the way we wanted to, it wouldn't be reality anymore.
