A Fantastic Weekend!
...well except for this strike business being postponed (so I still have to deal with it)...the weekend was awesome!
Friday night was the Sangeet. In Rohit's culture, it's a celebration of music and dancing for the upcoming nuptials. In Barna's culture, it's a women's party where they henna each other's hands and feet. In this case, the two traditions were merged to form the fabu party we went to on Friday. Pictures can be found here.

Then Saturday was the big day...from 2-2:30pm until after midnight! First, Rohit came over to the ceremony on a horse...and there were like 7-8 parts to the actual marriage ceremony *I'll add some info on this from the program later*. It was a great time had by all. The colors of all the saris was amazing! I loved it =) Pictures can be seen here.

Back to reality
So I was in Asia for about 18 days and had an amazing time! I saw gorgeous temples, ate amazing food, rode on an elephant through the jungle, visited with family...I had a really great time.
I was in the Philippines from Jan 4 - Jan 9...then I was in Thailand...from Jan 9 - Jan 16...then back to the Philippines from Jan 16 - Jan 21.
I attended 2 of my cousins weddings...
Emily & Engel - 1/6/08
Shelley & George - 1/19/08
I have a TON of pictures that I am still uploading...check my website: ginacallender.multiply.com/
