Today is our fifth day to India.
We have lessons with our school buddies as usual. I had geography lesson and it is interesting since I haven't leant them before. Afterwards we went to Mani Bhavan -- a place dedicated to Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. That place was a mansion which belonged to his friend, and was also an important place where a lot of Gandhi's political activities were initiated. There were a lot of paintings and photographs about him and the political activities related to him. There were also small dolls in boxes which show important things about his life. I learnt so much in Mani Bhavan, about Gandhi and also India's history.
Afterwards, we all had a speech and drama workshop. This workshop was fun and very intersting. The teacher taught us how to use our whole body to express sadness, happiness, anger and fear. We started off with just little facial expression, to moving our hands and feet, to jumping up and kneeling down to express those feelings. Then, we were divided into group, and we were asked to do a short commercial about an imaginary product. All of them were very funny and entertaining.
After school, my host took me to ride a horse carriage. This was my first time and it was very exciting. The carriage was so beautiful that I felt like a queen when I was sitting in it. I got to see how Mumbai looks. The ride was bumpy but still nice all the same. I am sure tomorrow will be another fruitful day.
