Current mood:

mellow

Odds 'n' ends
Put up some random photos from around town. Not much to report - it's been raining for the past two days so I've been hanging out at home with my host family. On Wednesday my host mom took me to a somewhat bizarre event that was half an Indian music and dance concert and half an introduction to the teachings of a famous yoga practitioner. I think the guided meditations, which involved holding my hands over various parts of my body and asking my "Kundalini mother" for various things, would have been less odd if I had understood any of the explanations.

My current food obsession is with my host family's practice of eating dill. Just dill. On a plate. Big stalks of it. It's pretty awesome. Very refreshing, and I dig the feathery texture.

Oh, and apparently one of the TV news stations called the American Home this morning to inquire if people were leaving flowers and candles here as a tribute to Michael Jackson. Nope. But it's amusing to be thought of as a mini-embassy.
