Birthday Party
The McDonald's birthday party was another Indo experience. When you book they tell you to write at least a half an hour early on your invitations to get people there on time. It almost worked, we should have said an hour early. We needed 20 kids to get the complimentary MC, but Chintya does not know that many kids here. We talked to the owners of our room, they said “how many do you need there are more than 20 around here?” That worked out pretty good. At first it was like a wedding with the segregation of the room by family, after the party started the room homogenized quickly. They had some games with hula hoops, sang five different happy birthday songs, did the cake/candles and fed everyone fried chicken and rice. I partook in the savage custom of eating with your hands, as is normal here. I have been able to avoid it until now, every place we have gone someone handed me a fork and spoon. I am sure I could have got one, but I did not want to be the only one. We came home to share the leftover cake with our landlord's family, then opened presents in the room.
