Indian snacks & masala tea with my Indo-Fijian colleagues

Finally some chillout time again - this time with my colleagues from the language department at Gospel Highschool.

The ladies are all Indo-Fijian women - often talk a mixture of Hindi or English or both.

We had some great laughs & lots of girly talks! These women love to chat & talk about girly things just like us western women do.

We also talked about sari's - Indian dresses. And how much of their social times involves dressing up in beautiful sari's for weddings or special events. Their next big sari event is 'Diwali' - the 'festival of lights' this coming October. If I return to help the Fiji Association of the Deaf in October for 3-months in preparing & delivering their national deaf awareness week event - I will also be invited to celebrate the 'Diwali' with the girls in a 'sari' at their home. Oh how good would that be - to dress up in sari! I never got to do that when I was in India in 2004 for 4-months.
