Mussori, graduation & exams!

Hey everyone
We've now formally experienced an Indian grad, Moravian style. Yesterday (Sunday), Claire Tiffany, and I, along with the other gappers we are staying with, went to the old town of Mussori. It's a small town located on top of a huge mountain from which you can see the Himalayas. We spent most of our free day up on that mountain. After some good shopping and sightseeing, the school driver took us down on the bumpy ride back to Rajpur.
Last Tuesday, we got to experience the 12th graders grad party which really was entertaining (although the graduants were very shy when it came to dancing with eachother; especially, for the symbolic first waltz).

The life in Rajpur is very interseting, how things are done compared to home is very exciting and different from what we are used to. Tiffany, Claire, and I are travelling to Goa on Wednesday for some sightseeing and relaxation in the sun. We will be spending 10 days in Goa and be flying back to Delhi on the 1 st of March. From there we will be taking the night train back to Rajpur and the school.
We found that the Internet accsess in India isn't always on our side, but we're trying to update as frequently as possible for all you guys back home that like to read. I will end this post with some new photos taken off the school and in Mussori.
Cheers Fredrick
