Corny Music That Triggered Homesickness :(

Yesterday was yet another day for many new things (I suspect a lot of my time here will be filled with that)! My host mother, brother and I went shopping at a store here in Coimbatore called "Nilgiri's" for some "American style" foods that I can eat (my host mother seems to think I'm starving myself because she always wants me to eat during the day!) for snacks throughout the day. We got all types of things including pancakes, maple syrup, nutella, orange juice and oatmeal! I think that I'm going to make pancakes for my family and their guests this morning!
In the morning yesterday my host father and I went out to pick up his niece and his niece's new husband (their names are Pratipa and Santo) that will be staying with us for a few days. They are a newly married couple, and they both are very nice!
Suya, Mahesh and I also visited a museum yesterday that is all about a man who (basically) founded Coimbatore. The museum was a HUGE room filled with glass cases that were bursting with all of this guy's collections! I swear, this guy collected everything! He liked to collect every model made of many different electronics including cameras, copy machines, record players, etc.
Last night the family went out with some friends to celebrate Surya's going away (he's going on exchange to Phylomath, Oregon). There were several of the same families who were at Mahesh's sister's house, and then a few of Surya's friends and their families. The restaurant was located in a hotel (probably one of the nicest buildings in Coimbatore) and was a buffet style. I tried a litlle of everything and had my first taste of some spicy food (my host mother has been really careful not to burn my mouth yet)! It was a fun night (that went REALLY late and had me falling over into my food) of new faces, newer faces, brand new faces, a constant buzz of Tamil chatter (with the occasional English thrown in for me) and corny American music being played over and over again (songs including Britney Spears, The Backstreet Boys, and Barbie Girl) that were making me a bit homesick!
