Hello my lovlies!
How are you all?? Hope everyone is fine and Dandy!
A lot has been going on In Darjeeling recently! I have hardly been to school last week and I am only going for 3 days this week as well! There have been a lot of strikes on due to the Darjeeling hills wanting there own state.. gerkerland. Me and hannah walked out on Wednesday after school and it was like a ghost town! Everything had shut down in a matter of about half an hour! So strange! So everything was shut shops, banks and the roads where also closed down! This went on until early morning Friday! So was literally locked in the house for like a day and a half! On Thursday I swear the whole of Darjeeling was out in force! They where campaigning through the streets i now know the chant! You could hear it for hours! They then went and burnt something in the square not sure what it was.... On Friday all the school children from all over Darjeeling where out in force! They had a massive meeting in the square then they also went right through the town! I saw my school on Tv! There famous! We wernt allowed to join in as it was a poltical rally but in my personal opinion i reakon i would have been quite good lol! Could have gone on my first ever protest!
We where going away this weekend to a wildlife sanctuary on the plains to ride elephants ect but that just didnt happen due to all the problems! We didnt really want to get locked out of Darjeeling! There where also problems in the plains near darjeeling were people where getting violent so decided not to go! Want to go though before i go i am determind to see a tiger in India its going to happen!!
It all happens in Darjeeling yesturday, the Indian idol who is from darjeeling returned home! OMG it was crazy!!!! They loved him! Even the boys where screaming! I personally thought the boys where probably more into it then then girls lol! WE and Hannah had gone fro a walk and we had to get home through the crowd that was crazy! Took a picture of the idol though... dont ask me his name though have no idea! lol!
I have purchased my first singing bowl! I love it and I am going to annoy everyone when i get home by making it sing lol! (Bet your like what the hell!!) Its a thing that Buddist use to do some sort of ritual its a bowl then you put this wooden thing around the edge and then it sings! Like you do kind of with a wine glass!!!
I am really loving school and never want to leave if i didnt have to go to Uni i would move all my travels back for like a month or two and stay a little extra! But i am loving it while it lasts! The children are amazing and the headmistress is so cute! She text's me and everything! I have one mission this week and thats to make Twister. This is for the orphanage! Yesturday me and Hannah went to the fabric shop and bought some fabric to make it i will take a pic if we succeed!
I am slightly worried that when i get home i am going to look as white as you guys cant happen sunning in Fiji or having a spray tan! Yes I may look orange but i wont look white will i??? lol I am also quite concerned that I have forgotten to drive a car! had a scary dream last night about it!
One thing that I hate about Darjeeling is the massive thunder and lightning storms that we reguarly have! Saturday night i thought the house was going to fall down and where like on the edge of a cliff! OMG!
Anyways still alive and the house hasnt fallen down quite yet which is always good! Having a fab time, missing you all!
Lots of love
