I have been so lucky to meet so many wonderful people in India. Most Indians have darker brown skin and dark hair. The women wear beautiful wrapped dresses called Saris. We visited many textile stores where I got to try some on! In India it is tradition that the women's skin be covered, even at the beach! I saw women fully clothes in the ocean! Men wear every day attire like you may see here.

My host family is so wonderful. The father works in construction and has helped to build many buildings. The mother works in a shop where they sell textiles, like blankets, wall coverings and pillow covers. You have never seen so many beautiful colors!
My Host sister loves to dance and spends most of her time at dance class when she is not in school. My host brother loves to play cricket! Cricket is the most popular sport over here. It is played in teams and sort of resembles baseball because it is played on a field with a bat and ball!
Here in India the main language is called Hindi, though depending where you are in the country there are many other languages and dialects. I am working had at understanding it but it is not easy! Namaste means Hello! Alvida means goodbye and Water is Jal.
