September 13^th, round 2

So... last week, I think, I talked about the fact that other people here are getting lectures about wasting food and not eating enough, and I'm getting the opposite, right? Tonight, at dinner, my host aai offered me another serving of rice, and I turned it down. But, I asked for some extra bhaji (vegetables) instead. So she served me some bhaji, and then asked if I wanted rice again because she gave me too much of the vegetable dish to go with what I had left. So I said sure. And she just smiled and said, “You must put on much weight before we send you back to your parents.” First of all, it's probably true. Second of all, it really is some crazy Indian goal to fatten people up. Third of all, it reminded me of the witch in Hansel and Gretel. I've always said that if I were a fairytale character, I'd be that witch. I guess I came to the right country.

The llama song is now in Latin, all 51 lines of it. That's actually not really all that impressive considering that over 20% of the words are actually “llama.”
