Today, we went to Bombay. We sat in the back seat of the taxi. There were no seat belts again and we could do whatever we want. Next, we went to Gateway of India. This was built to greet the king and queen of England. We also saw two horses with fancy carts. They are called Victorias. We also met up with Mommy's friend Sonia - they have been friends since they were five and in first grade. Sonia invited us in to her office. We also went to a store called "Fab India" and it was raining a lot. We got trapped in there. It was pouring rain and it made a mini flood.
After we finally got to the taxi, we met up with Sonia. She ran to the taxi with us. We then went to eat Chinese food. It was our first time using chopsticks! It was difficult. We ate wantons, noodles, french fries, and chicken. For dessert, we had chocolate ice cream - yummy! Our drink was water. Then we got back in the taxi to wait for Sonia's taxi. Sonia is really nice. Once she left, we took off and went to New Bombay. Then we went off to sleep.
What I learned today:
In Hindi, I learned how to say a full sentence: Mera naam Meera hai which means "My name is Meera."

Hi Meera,
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that you were able to meet your Mom's childhood friend. Maybe some of your current friends will also last such a long time! I just looked at my last posting, and I can't believe that I spelled "elephant" with a "v" - I don't know what I was thinking!
We saw it but thought you did not have spell check. Since Mommy types for me (I tell her what to type), I don't make that many errors. She is a good typer. I want to read your blog when you go to Scotland. Meera
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on learning your first full sentence in Hindi. Isn't learning another language fun?! Maggie
