Some Happenings

Yesterday some TV people showed up to our Telugu class and spent an hour getting footage of our class. Which was a bit tiresome, but convenient because it meant a half day off. And today we went to our teacher's home and watched ourselves on TV instead of having class. This is me. We were covered for about five minutes.



Yesterday we also attended an Indian wedding. We were invited because Adam briefly met the groom's father a couple weeks ago, and I guess they wanted some international guests. Lots of people came, but I think most of them came for the food. The food was the largest buffet I have ever seen, and took up an entire large room and spilled out into the outdoors and the main marriage hall. There were menus you could pick up with your plate to help guide you to what you wanted to eat. It was all pretty awesome, especially the ice cream counter. The actual marriage was not very visible, even though it was on the stage, because the close family members crowded around and mostly hid the couple from view.

We all bought saris for the occasion.
