Day 19

The fanily in flat 13 B1 were lovely. We had a cold lemon drink and bombay mix sweet stuff. They're english is perfect but as they want to move to Canada they wanbt to practise their accent and pronunication – not sure if LA and I are the best examples but they were very interesting to talk to – plus we have a dinner invite!

Long day at work today. IO was standing buy the board at 11am and could feel sweat running dowen my legs – not attractive! I had drunkj 1 litre before class even started.

No english this afternoon as the room was talking over with dancing and musical chairs. Was exhausted as everyone wanted to dance with "auntie"

 Had to change travellers cheques today which tyakes forever. No matter what you try to do you are faced with bureaucracy and form filling. It takes 2 guys 30 minutes to change one persons cheques! Gettign used to how long everytjhing takes here. Also , when you go into a shop there are more staff than customers – their way of keeping employment levels up – theres 2 guys to take your bags, several security and heaps of sales people milling around. However, it still takes forever to buy bread!

 Must dash. As a treat Kali has prepared pasta for tea and Sucharita is visiting to check we are ok for our weekend trip.
