Hello! group 4 here yah. today is day 2 of our trip here in india :D we have had so much fun so far and we are excited about the memories we will bring back to s'pore. Today after breakfast we went to Dakshin Chithra. it was a true eye opener for all of us. we managed to get in touch with our roots. the place was mainly about how our grand-parents, or even our current relatives here, live in india. different castes had different sorts of houses which were unique in their own way. since it was a culture-shock for us, it has reminded us not to lose our culture because it is so rich in history. there were also demos for us such as sarees being made and glass being 'blown'. we were astonished and impressed with the locals' skills of survival because they were so innovative with the things they made. although we didnt buy anything from , we truly praise them for their talents. this experience has reminded us that we too have talents that we do not use/realise.
We also went to MAHABALIPURAM. It was a tourist attraction in india and many foreigners were there at the place and they were all astonished by the amazing sculptures which resembles indian cultures and traditions. The place was also packed with many indian locals selling thier handmade products (souveniers) to the buzzing crowd . -.-
We also saw "krishnan's Butter Ball". It was a big rock on a slope...with a little support from its base.This amazed us as it had very little support and it had been standing there for thousands of years. Lastly tomorrow we are going to a school and we look forward to it, so we have actual facts to compare.
