9. My daughter did a student exchange in India...
Sun Feb 8, 2015, 06:39 PM
Feb 2015

On her first full day there her host sister took her around to some local
points of interest.

She was asked if she was on her period, and she told the host sister that
she wasn't.

However, half way through the day, she started....she didn't want have to
go home so she didn't tell anyone.

Later she texted me that she had only been in India for one day and had
accidentally desecrated a temple!

She was better off than another girl who was sent to live in a more rural area...
she was made to sit on a plastic chair when she was on her period.
