We attended our first Cricket game on Saturday. Some of Brian's co-workers met us there and we exprienced India's national pastime. It's a little like baseball but a little more boring:D We sat in a section where the official "cheerleader" of Pakistan was sitting. He's gone to every game the last 19 years, following the Pakistani team all over the world. This made for fun rivalry yelling and true Indian spirit. The Pakistani team pays him ($160 a month) to go and mingle among the crowd and get them fired up. He's called the Cricket ChaCha (Uncle) and even has full color business cards he hands out:) The TV camera also came by to film the ChaCha with the indian fans. We made our debut on national indian television:) I think the cameraman stayed on Kai for 5 minutes:) (the white baby is a celebrity everywhere we go:D)
