Today I had the honor to be a judge for the debate team. The debate topic was "Science. Boon or Bane". When the teacher was telling me about it I just could not understand what he was saying, so he got the dictionary out and showed me the definition for the word "boon", it means good, now I knew what bane means so it was clear to me now the debate was about "Science, good or bad". There is another word they use here, it's tiffin, it refers to a short break or lunch. So when the teacher was explaining to me that the debate was after tiffin, I was like what? So again we got out the dictionary and looked it up. Such old words they use here, must be from being so close to India. The kids did pretty good with the debate except they were on microphones and an amp, so sometimes it was very loud. It was great fun and the kids were pleased with themselves, and I learned some new scrabble words. Here are a few pictures of the sunset today. |  |

How very British! Do they also have elevenses? At least you won't need to deal with the Anglican music, too! :-)
