I am back in Denmark! And have been back for more than a week already - time flies by… I went on the early morning train on the 27th from Udaipur to Pushkar where I arrived in the afternoon and took a cycle rickshaw to the hotel where Matilde was staying. It was SO good to see her again and catch up. Both of my days in Pushkar were really lazy when it comes to sightseeing (the famous lake and ghats were all dried out anyway because of the time of the year) b...

Second blog post from Tiruvannamalai. First of all: the work at the school is not as tough as the first day. Luckily! After the experiences from Friday I decided to be better prepared for the following week and I prepared some action songs (in the meaning of using the body while singing), some games and some stuff to teach the young children like the names of colours, furniture, body parts etc. (things that are possible to visualise as a result of the language di...
