India #2: Sounds of Music, and the taste of tradition
Hello and welcome, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to the second FUNADDICT travel diary! Starting……..yesterday night!

India #1: Scenic drive, and a peek at a traditional event
I arrived in India yesterday night. After leaving Singapore, we went on a flight with Singapore Airlines to Calcutta. We met my grandparents at Calcutta Airport. The driver, who took us to their home, chose a quite scenic way to get to the building. It was midnight, which was an advantage. The light decor was…

Dine around the world
On Saturdays, we normally eat out, so, earlier today, I went to Kairali, a south Indian cuisine. We had a “ghee roast”, which is soft bread covered in butter, a chicken that I can’t remember the name of, and one serving of Tamarind rice.
