To Market To Market to buy....

A fat pig, jewlery, clothes, dishes, tapestries, food...anything you can name I could have bought today. There was no hokey pokey today, instead I decided to venture out to the new market (Im not sure where the old market went.) This is a place of many wonders and a huge tourist trap. I did get some quality chinese food though in a place that also sold hamburgers and indian curry. The key word I guess in Kolkata is smorgesbourg (spelling?) The idea of how much can we cram together in one place is lovely...it makes the life of the traveler so much more convenient when I can buy my electronics, clothing, and soap in the same place (kind of like Sears)

So I had a learning experience today...after my class with the 9year olds, as they left the class they bent down and touched my feet. I being a stupid american kept looking down at my feet to see if I had something wrong with my polish or if the blister was that noticeable. Apparently, however, touching someone's feet is the highest form of showing respect. Who would have thought one adjective game would have made such a huge impression. I figured then that I was worlds away from St. Ailbe school.
