10.12.11 - Large tree? Hanging vines? Yes please!

          After classes today, the six of us boys ventured into the Tambaram market again. We discovered that afternoons are a good time to go due to relatively low traffic. Some of the new things that we explored included the animal slaughtering area, street food alley, and an upscale men's apparel store. I have a feeling I'm going to be lookin' pretty fly for Diwali on 10.26. The kids in the market are hysterical. They love singing, dancing, goofing off - anything to get attention from the fair skinned foreigners. We were able to communicate with some of the kids and our new friends showed us through a beautiful garden temple near the Tambaram market.
          When we got back to MCC, I decided to climb the huge banyan tree that is located right across from our residence at the International Guest House. I was able to jump up, grab several of the hanging vines, and pull myself up hand-over-hand high above the ground below. I'm looking forward to attempting to climb to the top sometime before we leave MCC.
