Indian Culture

Now, I'm no expert on Indian culture... but the student village is made up almost entirely of students from India, so I think I have learned some things. I will share these with you.

Today is our roommate, Dev's, Birthday. He is in his final year here at USQ and has been living in Toowoomba and "the village" for almost 3 years now. On our first day he asked us how were liking Toowoomba, we said it was nice... he replied: "Give it a month." haha. Now last night at midnight (the start of Dev's Birthday) almost 20 of Dev's friends came with two cakes. Now this excited us greatly, because we all wanted some cake. But little did we know that all of this cake would be cut into nice pieces and then each would take one of these nice pieces, and "feed" them to Dev. I say feed loosely because they basically crammed them into his face, his hair, and unavoidably onto the floor! A very fun tradition, I think!

The other thing I've noticed is that Indians like to share things! Including houses. haha. I've said to Lauren that when we go back to the US it's going to be weird to not have a random Indian guy walk through my living room. Sometimes they come in to go see Dev in his room, other times they come grab a pot or a pan, sometimes they just walk through to go from their townhouses behind ours, to the townhouses on the other side. So needless to say, they keep it interesting.

I haven't noticed too many other fun Indian facts... but if I find any more, I'll let you know.

Other than that, things are good. We may try to go to Brisbane for a night or two this weekend... we need to get out of Toowoomba for a while. haha.
I have a quiz today in my Psych class, so I'm heading to the library to study for that!

Hope all is well at home!
Miss you all!
