Wednesday

We spent Wednesday in College, working on presentations. It was the day that the KFC van came to visit, much to everyone's delight.

In the evening we were treated to a traditional D'vali celebration in the grand hall. This included a lot of colourful lights and a great deal of traditional Indian dancing.

I was proud to see that the British students were among the first wave to rush the stage for the finale and some of them evidently loved the opportunity to get in amongst the Malaysian students and practise their Bollywood moves.


This was followed by extensive visits to the hennaing booth, where everybody - including myself and Mr Dark - succumbed to the lure of a henna tattoo. Some were more traditional than others, it has to be said.



(For those of a nervous disposition, please let me reassure you that these tattoos are most definitely temporary!)

We also had the chance to sample some traditional Indian foods and some of our students borrowed Indian clothing from their new Malaysian friends, so they really looked the part!
