DAY 13

Day thirteen was a free day for our buddies to interact with their host families. Many spent their morning sightseeing or shopping. It was a combination of visits to the city’s magnificent monuments, the lively markets, cultural centres, and so on.

  The most exciting part of the day however, was the party in the evening. It was one of our favourite exchange student, Susie’s, birthday.  Her buddy had organized a surprise party for her for which we all gathered at her house.

  Finally, Susie arrived, all the planning paid off, and she couldn't contain her excitement. We feasted, danced and even taught our buddies some ‘desi moves’. By the end of the day they were all singing ‘chamak challo’!
