Peter Foster's visit

One of the pastors from our home church in Glasgow came to visit us last week. He was going to a wedding in Chennai, and so he took 5 extra days, and came to see us on his way there. He left yesterday. We had a really great time with him, it was so nice to be able to relax and chat with someone quite similar to yourself, from a similar culture, (and with a similar sense of humour).

Unfortunately during his time here he had the audacity of beating me at an Indian game called Carrom (quite like a game of pool, but with draught pieces on a slippery board instead of balls- sort of a pool/air-hockey hybrid). I thankfully had the opportunity for revenge by then narrowly defeating him at the real thing on the pool table we have in our apartment complex "club house", (which also has a small swimming pool and sauna, gym, jacouzzi, table-tennis!)

During Peter's time here we also enjoyed swimming, getting on and off moving trains (when he didn't leave me behind in rush-hour), going to collect my new bike, the bazzars, A tour of Mumbai (including this boat trip round the harbour), and much more.

It was a shame Peter's visit was sooo fleeting, but great to have him to stay, and to get to know him a bit better.
