September 13 and 14, 2008
We went on our home stay this weekend. It was decided that I would be staying with Mr. Francis and his wife (Mr. Francis is the director of Visthar). They are an older couple that live in Bangalore. There apartment is small but it is very comfortable. It is much nicer than the other homes that I have been in so far. I got to sleep in a larger bed and had my own bathroom to use. It was a difficult weekend because I was put into a situation where I did not know anyone. We went to family functions. It was interesting to see all of these people interacting together. I noticed that Mr. Francis’ wife was really pushy. She was always saying “Come Michele”, “Eat more” and “You didn’t like the food.” It was difficult because I think that this was her trying to be a good host but it came off as kind of rude. The culture differences have been difficult to deal with this weekend.
