Teej Festivities

Here are some photos from Teej with my family. They aren't unhappy, I promise, it's just Nepali culture not to smile in photos. For the festivities they dressed me up in my Bauju's wedding Sari. They all told me that I looked like a doll and that I danced just like a Nepali daughter. Despite the fact that Sari's are completely impractical for walking (or doing anything really for that matter), it was so nice to be so warmly included in the culture.
