Thursday was a busy day! In addition to a challenging visit to the settlement, we also moved into our host family in the evening! They'll never compare to my amazing Brasilian host families, but it's nice to have the experience. :)
Danielle and I are staying with the Singh family - a grandmother & grandfather, their daughter & son-in-law, and grandson (17). Nani-ji, the grandmother is adorable and quite helpful despite little English. Abi, the son, is a typical teenage boy interested in video games and cricket (well, typical for Indians). Vanita, the daughter/mother, is soft spoken, but very kind. The two older men make themselves scarce... Not sure why this is, but I am hoping that they'll warm up to us!
We have a bedroom, bathroom and sitting room on the second floor. There is no AC, so we are braving the heat. When it's just too hot we're practicing the bucket shower technique to cool us down!
After a week of restaurant food, we are happy to be eating lighter fare. And fortunately for us because of past interns they have learned that American guests are not-so-hungry gods. :)
