so i've started to settle in now, it was abit difficult at first because all the plans where changed and i had no idea what was going on + i had barely had any sleep for the past few days. And also everybody doing the projects at my youth hostel is a lot older than me, so i feel a little lonely . But on the bright side, I've done some cool things so far...
This morning i was woken up at 6am , we had to go to the main room and do 1 hour of yoga. Of course we had a teacher, who taught us all sorts of funny breathing exercises to "cleanse your body of all its toxins" . We have to do the same tomorrow .
At lunch time i helped the cook make chapatis , she made it look so easy ... i was a bit rubbish at rolling them into perfect circles :s.
Below is a picture of a Temple Elephant , they go around a few days in the year and wonder through the local village's . People chant and sing and dance and feed it lots of treats.
Tomorrow we are going to a Temple to learn more about the Hindu lifestyle and religion. I'm looking forward to that.
After we are going to go and watch a 4 hour Bollywood movie. Should be fun.
I would like to be an elephant and have people give me lots of treats - Christmas all year round! But, i would also like to get rid of some of my toxins..................yoga is the answer perhaps xxxx
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that elephant?! The orientation week sounds like a really good way of settling in and getting the hang of things (what did you wear for Yoga?). Keep smiling lovely girl, you'll feel better when you're working with the kids xxx
ReplyDeleteDad : hahaha. that comment made me laugh x
ReplyDeleteMum : I wore some hareem style trousers ( ali baba kindof) and the green fatface vest. x
