so me and india had something in common this last weekend: Independance from England. india celebrates it on August 15th, and we americans celebrate it on July 4th. its funny to think that both of countries were at one time in control by the mother country but it was quite fun going around the office and telling them that we celebrated out independance from england. they were shocked to hear that we also were under british rule. here in india they didnt get there independance from england until 1947, but never the less they broke free and now are a free country as are we. its great!
for the fourth of july we had two bbq's at one ex-pat's home (they are members in the branch) and one missionary couple's home. it was great to see all the meat:
here in india its hard to find beef so really only in the foreigner homes do you find beef. but we enjoyed eating all day long and just socializing. we were quite the social machines!!

Happy Fourth! Canada gets to celebrate it's freedom from Englad as well, man, they were quite the dominating country weren't they! :) I'm glad you got to celebrate in style, especially with all the yummy food. So if you don't see much beef there, what kinds of meats do you eat the most? Pork? Chicken? Any other strange scary animal?
stinking freedom. Rule Britannia.
we weren't all that bad right? its like a horrible break up i just hope we can one day all be very good friends.
