There is a gentle yet definite rhythm to life here ....the students rising bell is 5.15am, at the moment the Muezzin starts around 5.45, breakfast 7.15, college chapel at 8.
School starts at 8.45 and this morning there were 3 lessons we were involved in before their lunch break at 11. Chai is served at 11 too - I am certainly getting the taste of this hot, slightly spicy (ginger and others) and very sweet beverage. Pictured below is the school pricipa - known as Glory Mam. I am known as Caroline Mam! male teachers are known as Sir as in William sir.
Lunch (rice, dahl and a vegetable) is at 1.15 and then things go quiet till 3.30/4 ish as it is really too hot to be outdoors.
After that its exploring and time to walk into the old city aiming for a drink overlooking the lake.... I have found out this is the view used in the old bond movie octopussy! (For any of you oldies who remember this!)
Returning for dinner at 7.15 and then quiet evenings chatting, drinking tea and generally doing battle with the internet connection to write blogs!
