My first playdate

Today I was invited to go to my cousin, Karun's, house for a playdate. He was having a girl from my class over and my aunt, Priya, wanted to see if I wanted to come. I thought I would be intruding but I actually had a lot of fun. First, the girl's name is Anishka and she was really nice. First, we started playing Wii Tennis but it didn't work out because there were two power cuts - (Typical India.) Then we looked around Anishka's special thing called R4, which was a DS thing which could hold 170 games. ( I want it for Christmas.) It's really cool and she had two of the games I really wanted, "Imagine Babysitter" and "Imagine Detective". Then we played a game called Caroms - an Indian game (look it up, ) and Triangle Catch. We also played Monkey in the Middle. Then I had Karun come over. At first I ate dinner and he started playing one of my favorite DS games, "Imagine Resort Owner" but I pried him off it and we played a good ole game of Around the World Monopoly. It was fun! Then Karun had to go home and I am typing these two posts up.

Dune Resort

On the first day at the Dune resort (near Pondicherry, 2 hours from Chennai) we got there around 3.30 in the afternoon. Dune resort is an eco-friendly place with 55 rooms/houses; the food is very healthy - yuck! Then we got bikes and rode to the pool. The pool is an utterly gorgeous sight. But it's a little weird because the first part of it is very deep - my dad couldn't even stand in there. Something funny is that my mom says she couldn't carry me around in the pool but she did without knowing because I grabbed on a strap of her swim suit and she dragged me across the pool. Later that evening at dinner, I ordered french fries and fish sticks, because that was the only thing that sounded good on the menu. But the french fries were very very healthy and the fish was utterly disgusting. That night my dad and me went to a little temple and I sat on the floor of it even if it had ants on it to skype my Seattle class (Christy's class). After I skyped, me and my dad decided to get dessert. I ordered a chocolate crepe and he ordered jill jill something. The crepe was so very delicious (i had it again the next day). The next day, we went to have breakfast and an early morning (or should I say late) swim. Later at lunch daddy had some of his old friends over and they had a kid, and after I had my lunch, we played on a really cool playground - they had an awesome zipline! Then I went swimming with the kid, Sidhart. Then after we swam we all went back to our room for a cup of coffee (except the grownups drank the coffee). After I had a quick shower, we all went up to......milk......cows! Little did we know that right after we milked the cows, we would be able to go into a cage filled with turkeys, hens, roosters and chicks, and even a small bunny. After we saw those animals we were in for another big surprise. We were going to feed.....baby calves! It was so fun! There was a very pretty calf with brown eyes and a serious face - I named her "Brown Eyes" because I thought it was a cute name. After that a dog came up and started liking Brown Eyes and the funny thing was that after that she started licking the dog. And then a mother cow fed her baby calf - it was a very beautiful sight. Next I made some pottery. Amare did too. The next day we went back on our way back home. We ate at a restaurant called EC Dhaba. It was connected with a place called Emu Zoo. We went there and the person who was taking care of the animals said we could go in there and feed a bunch of rabbits. I thought rabbits were shy but these rabbits came galloping up to us. it was so sweet. I got to feed so many rabbits some carrots. When we were done giving them carrots, we got to feed........Turkeys! We fed them garlic. It was kind of funny. My mom said dad used to carry around turkeys and that is how he got back problems. We got home and rested.

New school

I am tired today so my mother is typing while I dictate. This very day, we went to visit my new school, Kids Central. It is really cool and exciting. What is really cool is that there are a lot more things outdoors, just like P.E. and Music. There is a lot of art in the school. But I really miss Seattle and would like to come back. What I didn't like that the first day that the kids weren't so friendly. My mother says it was because it was Project week but I think it is also a different culture here. My teacher's name is Sri Devi and there is a co-teacher called Kamala but we call our teachers, aunties. There are 10 kids in my class, including my cousin, Karun. There was also a new girl, visiting and trying out the school. We have the following specials next term, which starts Sept 19th - Indian music on Monday, Art on Tuesday, Movement on Wednesday, Western Music and Yoga on Thursday and P.E. twice a week.

You have to take off your shoes before you go into school!

Yesterday I had a beef hamburger, which is rare here (because cows are sacred) at this gorgeous restaurant, and Amare had a plate of spaghetti.

Tomorrow I am going to Pondicherry and we are going to try to skype my class (Christy's class) in Seattle. I will be sure to write a note about my trip there.

Pomegranates are my favorite food - here is a photo of me with my cousin, Amrit, eating it.

Today we went to one of my favorite bookstores, in it

there was really cool jewelery like Long plastic flowers they were Funky.

Then we went to the beach on the way there my mom show us a cool place called Senza ,

and you know what they gave fish spas!tiny fish nibble away bacteria and dead skin way from your feet.at the beach Amare and me ran towards the big waves(actually i could not run cause i sprained my ankle) The waves soaked us whenever the went back the tide tried to pull us towards sea our feet dug into the sand as the warm water ran back.

when i got out of the sea ,I found my body was sandy...and very itchy.

it was good thing thatha and pathis car had plastic on the seats because i would have made it very messy.
