This is Shelley and Boozer. It's amazing how people live here. They only have one room which they share with three people and Boozer. He's a big dog too. There is no yard and to get their house you have to wind around a narrow dark three meter wide passageway between apartment buildings. Luckily Boozer has nice manners and he's very well loved. The Aroras are well loved also and theirs is the favorite home for all of the missionaries to hang out at.
We found another wonderful market close by. Renu and I are haggling over some mangos. This looks like very serious business doesn't it? I really like the picture of the bowl of carrots so precariously propped up on top of the rock rocks and bricks. It's amazing to see all the makeshift businesses and stands. It gives us a lot of new ideas for when we get home and back to selling fruit.
These little girls were having so much fun playing with a match box. One had the cover and the other had the box tray. While I was trying to get a picture they noticed me and jumped up to pose. Luckily I got a snap of them while they were playing. It's so cute how little kids will play with just any old scrap of junk. Very few have regular toys from a store. I have seen some very creative toys and musical instruments made out of CD discs, old broken PVC pipe, sticks and rocks, cardboard boxes, styrafoam boxes, match boxes, bricks, etc. None of the kids use nets to play badminton. One neighborhood dad said it develops imagination and creativity.
