At the tailor's with Sirisha. I was having a top made to wear with my sari. We are singing with the community choir this weekend and I will have my first experience at wearing a sari. Next picture is the fabric store.
We're always talking about the traffic and how crossing the street is much different here. You walk diagnally and once you start you don't change your pace or you'll get ran over. The oncoming traffic judges you at the pace they see you walking.
Our dear friend Sirisha was telling us about her trip to the United States. She was in Salt Lake City (she's a translator) and she wanted to cross the street. She saw the sign that said "walk" so she started across the street. When she got part way across the sign read, "don't walk." So she quickly ran back and waited for it to say "walk" again. After doing this 2 or 3 times some nice people helped her get across the street. She said it was very frustrating because in India you just go. This story was hilarious when she grabbed her head and acted out the incident.
