here you cant share your food. if you have touched it, its contamination. you cant share a bottle of water, that has touched your lips, contamination. cant use your left hand to eat, pass things or touch someone. thats the hand they use to wipe their bumbum..! you cant hold hands, hug, kiss on the mouth, on the face or forehead, if doing so with the opposite sex..
i asked one of the girls that lives in my home ( they call it the happy home) rina, 17 what shes wants to do in life. she said.. "part time help mamma at home, part time watch TV. then have kids as well.."
after a long day, it started raining! they say it hasnt rained in ages! so, everyone on the streets just starts running and laughing "the rain godess must be happy with us" :)

many many smiles to everyone
