ARRIVAL IN INDIA!!!!
The sound of those plane wheels
hitting the ground was the must amazing sensation of my life and knowing that
this was where I would spend the next year of my life!
We made it through customs, through baggage
claim and were ready to walk through the doors to be greeted by AFS to bring us
to a hotel for orientation. BUT THERE WAS A SURPRISE!!! Our host family’s
stayed up late and picked us up from the airport to bring us home J IT was amazing!!! It
was dark and crowded but you could still see the happiness in all of our faces
as we hugged our knew second families and set off our separate ways to what we
would soon call home J
The
car ride was not awkward at all like most people said it was going to be! It
was amazing and happy and we were all smiling. My host parents couldn’t really
understand me but Priyanka and Juwaala were there to translate my fast and
excited English. When we arrived at the house I was greeted by a big cake with
my name on it! And they crowded around as I cut the cake and priyanka fed it to
me with her hands (which I was so surprised by the lack of forks) they thought
my reaction was funny too and brought me a plate and fork. We stayed up till
two in the morning talking. And I gave them all there presents, which was supper
cute! My host mother did ask about the
black hair ties that I was wearing on my wrist
which I though was completely normal. But in India it looked like some
sort of religious rope that showed devotion to a god so I took them off and we
all laughed! We went to sleep around two and I felt so welcomed, safe, and
happy and knew that this was a home I most certainly could get used too.
