Again it has been a little while since my last post, and I want to inform you all that I have now started college. Im in FYJC (First Year Junior College) at Jai hind college. In my class there is two other exchange students; Marion from france and Severin from Germany. Everyone at the college is so nice and helpful.
Last week there was a festival here in India called Janmashtami. They celebrate the birth of Krishna. A little jar of curd or butter is hung in a string high above the ground (because krishna used to really like dairy-products :) ) and people form human pyramids and try to break the jar. Usually theres a price for the team that breaks the "dahi handi"...
Then there were Ganpati festival wich is the celebration of Lord Ganesh (the elephantgod), I build a big thermacol temple with my hostfamily and we held a big celebration in the apartment all my host cousins and aunts (i guess?) were there for the celebration.
In the society we had a ganpati too, and on monday I moved back with my first host family, and wednesday we were to emerse the ganpati idol into the water, and there were held a big celebration... Everyone were dancing on the street, it was a GREAT experience.
Dejlige billeder!!
