April 6th, 2006
Houser's birthday was yesterday and we had a lot of fun with our friends here. We had a little birthday party in the afternoon and all of the staff and students at our base piled into our house and we had some cake, snacks, and tea. It was a good day.
Cricket is a big deal here in India. Every few years they will have a match in Guwahati (three hours from us) and it's quite an occasion. Houser and several of our staff are going to go this weekend and watch the cricket game. It's India vs. England and India has been beating them the past few games. There will be thousands of people there and so it will be quite an adventure. An average cricket game is around 7 hours and til today, I don't fully understand the game.
