July 4
This weekend, I made my way to Delhi for the American Embassy 4th of July party. With not one but two layers of metal dectectors, it was the most high security party of my life. It was also awesome:
(1) There was a 10 foot plus Indian Uncle Sam on stilts
(2) There were BBQ pork sandwiches
(3) The marines were selling tshirts featuring dogs dressed in army uniforms and armed with machine guns guarding the Taj Mahal
(4) They played Soulja boy. And only the marines knew the dance. Step. It. Up. Americans.
(5) There were fireworks.
(6) I ran into Tyler and Trisch who I had forgotten to tell I was in South Asia, much to their confusion.
And last, but certainly not least:
(7) The announcement: “The marines are having a pajama party next Friday. Go to their booth if you want more information.”
