(Jan. 27) Before I forget, one mention about the Kolkata book fair. We almost had trouble getting there because our driver didn't speak English so we just named a landmark near the location. About ten seconds on the road, Tiffany remembers that she did in fact know the Bengali for "book fair"! Out of all words to know, obviously she would have learned this.
The book fair was decent (I mean, it wasn't a book great or anything); a grand location the size of the McLeod county fairgrounds, full of books in English, Bengali, and Hindi. Due to low blood sugar, I don't remember a good part of the afternoon except for being attracted to all books with the subject of Marxism and fascism, though I did not purchase anything because I already brought oodles of Russian lit to India. Lesson learned: feed me, Seymour.
Okay, but the actually notable part is we were interviewed for tv multiple times. Kate was the first target of the day. I know Kate's dad told her to keep a low profile in India, but as we clearly see with the fashion show and tv interviews, celebrity status is inevitable. Sorry, Dave, but it seems she was just made for stardom!
