Update on the neighbors

Remember when I posted about how the neighbors loved having me take pictures of them, and like made me dance with them and put a red line on my forehead? Well that trend has continued. Last week was some weeklong celebration, and there was the yellow powder day, where they were all covered in yellow powder and tried to cover me in it, and there was also one night when they carried some ornate flower arrangement thing to a temple down the street and had a ceremony, which they made me participate in.

In a related story, on Sunday morning at 6am, the town started blasting music over these loudspeakers which are attached to the telephone poles. The music was so incredibly loud and annoying, and didn't stop until 10. Keep in mind that these are not like high quality speakers, they are PA speakers on telephone poles. It turns out it was for some Hindu celebration.

Seriously, 6am? WTF? Seriously though, I mean seriously, 6am? Really? Seriously?
