Today was our last day working with the Eco Columbans. They finished up the documentary, wrote their declaration to the United Nations, handed in their pen pal letters to their sister-school in Salem, Oregon, and assembled their Cultural Exchange Box to send to Oregon. Everything turned out great! Particularly the box! They did a wonderful job of decorating the outside and affixing peacock feathers to it.
After our work with the Eco Columbans we went to one of the student's (Harshit and Nidhi's) home for lunch. I really enjoy Indian food!... it is so nice to be in a country where being a vegetarian is being part of the majority! I don't have to keep asking, "does this have meat in it?" "is this vegetarian?" "only vegetable broth?"
We ended our day by seeing a Hindi movie at one of the nice Delhi theaters. Of course, I had only a vague idea of what was going on...but it was nonetheless entertaining. It was a thriller about this group of twenty-somethings lost in the Indian jungle with a scary-ghost-like-man killing off each of them one by one in what appeared to be accidents of the "jungle". It was actually a rather stupid movie, which Ashima and Nidhi fully admitted...it was supposed to be suspenseful and dramatic but all we could do was laugh as fully make-up'd girls ran through the jungle screaming in mini-skirts, heels, and low-cleavage shirts (because that's what I would pack on my safari adventure). It was rather melodramatic...but entertaining. We enjoyed watching the music video at the end.
It is now 12:58am and we have to get up at 3:45am in order to catch our bus to Dehradun!
