The early days.


Since Raph has arrived, there hasn't been a single day that has NOT been eventful. Except today. Which explains why this is my second post on the same day. With Raph, there is another exchange student from Belgium, Amelie. She is staying with Shailee, and Shailee will be going to her district in Belgium.
Since Amelie and Raph, both speak French, they very understandably get pleased to see each other. In their first week, they attended their very first Rotary meeting. Me and Shailee had to introduce Raph and Amelie respectively. So we did. They had to talk a little something too.. And they did. They made us proud by speaking two Hindi sentences as well.
"Namaste, mera naam Raphael hai. Main ek French student hoon. "
Today I added one more sentence to his list. Now it goes like,
"Mera naam Raphael hai. Main ek French student hoon. Mujhe khaana do." :D
After the meeting, we went out for dinner to Barbeque Nation. One of my favourites.
Amelie still finds Indian food a little spicy, but fortunately, Raph enjoys everything thoroughly.
Particularly Dal. Yes. Dal. Oh yeah, he detests idlis. Rickshaws interest him immensely. We have a folder full of rickshaw pictures only on our pc. And since Amelie has told him she spotted an elephant on the road, it has been his ambition to get him and an elephant which is on the road in the same frame and click a picture. Raphu the Paphu I tell you! Tres mignon! :)
