Yeah I'm havin a wicked time. I'm really starting to get into the swing
of things although still a little homesick. Geetika and the family are
really lovely. I'm so glad that I got put into their home. Tom's here
now so I also have some other company.
The project is going well and I start teaching my dance classes today.
I've been hanging out with the guys loads though. I've made so many
friends through the place and I often spend the evenings in the bars
with some of the guys.
My first three weeks in
Delhi
have been crazy but nothing short of amazing. I was worried I'd not be
able to accept the culture or that I wouldn't get along with the host
family but I couldn't have been more wrong. The family I'm staying with
are friendlier than I could ever have imagined and with the two jobs and
loads of new friends to go out and socialise with there's never a dull
moment.
My Salsa job allows me to socialise with people my age and make loads of new friends. It's a chance to have some real fun.
My voluntary work at the project is teaching me more about Indian
culture and introducing me to the problems the company is working to
resolve. I've met some amazing children from the clusters of slums and
seeing them smile and laugh is priceless. It makes everything I'm doing
here worthwhile.
It's great having the weekends off as I have a chance to go sightseeing. This weekend I explored Old
Delhi
and saw the Red Fort and I have seen many other beautiful temples and
historical sights. The only problem with the trip is that it's going too
fast. Time flies when you're having fun!
