Backhanded Indian compliments from 10 year olds

I forgot to mention- my host sister Aura looked me up and down as I was putting on my backpack this morning. She eyed my Peer Health Exchange sweatshirt and told me "I think Indian clothing really suits you better" in her Bengali/Hindi/British accent.

I think that was her way of saying "today, you look like sh*t." ;)

    Also hi Miss Adele and Mr Joe!! I want to see an elephant too!! You say you've seen four, Yar, yet I have seen zero ;) Do they feel threatening? Does everyone move out of the way? Or is it just like deer on hereford road?

    Also Also, Yar the lecture on medical treatment sounds fascinating!! that is exactly the issue that Kerry is writing her thesis on, but in reference to Uganda!!
