Today we had our equivalent of a “company Christmas party” in Bangalore. We went to a resort called Club Cabana and had a blast. I got my first ride on an ‘Indian bus’ – curtains and all. Then about a hundred of us played games and danced like crazy, despite a constant drizzle of rain. We had a Wacky Olympics and I am very proud to report that I won the Women’s Division Championship of the Egg Spooning Competition, successfully racing 100ft with an egg balanced on a spoon held in my mouth. We also had a cricket tournament and though I watched for an hour, I still have no clue how that game is played. The most interesting fun was all the impromptu dancing that occurred during the talent show and Wacky Olympics. My gracious, the men here can dance… hard core dancing… and with each other! It was the funniest thing in the world to watch; I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard.
