Today is Day 2 today. I wake up this morning and it feels like a better day. We have breakfast—I chose PB&J with Indian banannas. Yum! Then we start our day:
- We had our first Tamil class (so confusing and hard to get) but it was very fun
- Did you know that India was also colonized by the French? Well pondicherry was a very important colony to the french. We took a tour around Pondicherry and learned about the relationship between France and India.
- We went shopping for Indian clothes at FABINDIA! This is not as fun as it sounds. For me it was very frustrating, but the clothes were good.
- Then we came home and got ready for our Welcome Party with CLP and TYCL (TYCL is the Indian branch of CLP), to get to know each other better. At first TYCL and CLP were sitting on different sides of the room. But after a while of playing fun games we got to know each other better.
- First we played BINGO and went around asking people questions to get to understand them. We asked about religion, family, food and TYCL/CLP.
- Then we played charades about how CLP and TYCL work. We had so much fun (Team 2 won!).
After a long day we were all tired but satisfied with what we did today. We had a lot of fun with the TYCL group and had a good time together having laughs and getting to know each other better. By the end of the day we all felt like family and as if we knew each other already even though we are from different sides of the world.
