The last few weeks have been so busy that there hasn't been much of a chance for anything to happen, if that makes any sense. Here's a little more about Dasain:
Halloween was a quiet day, but we did talk our teacher into taking us to the local creamatorium:
It was a wonderfully peaceful place, out in the middle of the woods.
I finally got a kurta. It was a difficult process and ridiculously expensive (apparently I'm too tall for the less expensive fabric). First you go to the fabric store, where they have packets of fabric to choose from. I haven't gotten any better at making choices, so that was painful. Then you take the fabric to a tailor and get measured and decide what style you want (more hard choices!). A few days later you come back, make sure it fits, and then you're set. I suppose I really shouldn't complain too much about spending $25 on a nice custom made outfit.
Oh no! Should we start sending you memory cards so you can send pictures home? Love the Kurta. I would totally wear that everyday. Much cuter than the sweatshirt and sweatpants I am currently wearing. Miss you!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like the kurta too, looks comfy and stylish, and even I would pay $25 for a custom-made outfit. I like the video too. Pinging looks fun, I would like to set something up here when you get back. Also, Jane is officially walking.
