Wednesday after classes, I accompanied Laura and Jeannia back to their homestay, located in Hosakerehalli Village. This is a neighborhood in Bangalore now, although it used to be a separate village until Bangalore sprawl grew around it. There is a large hill there that offers amazing views of the city. I thought these photos would provide an interesting contrast to my last entry’s agricultural impressions.

…a grainer photo, but foreground proves that graffiti exists in many languages.

This guy (”HelloWhatCountry?Whatisyourname? Iam in 5th Standard. Iam nearlybest Cricket-playing and I willbeapilot in future. days!”) was my self-imposed tour guide. He is showing me a small temple on the top of the hill. It is dedicated to Shiva’s bull, Nandi.

My tour guide had me pose with his friend, who was in 6th standard. I presume he was also very good at cricket.

…I took a liking to Mr. 5th and Mr. 6th Standard, and they to me. When we parted ways after sunset, they hopefully asked, “You are coming tomorrow?”

Laura, Anna, Jeannia, Adrienne, Talia, Janneli…
and our view…
