Mean Monkeys and People That Act Like Monkeys

One day my family and I went out to have a picnic. We bought some tasty Indian food and then we went to the local park: Kamati Gardens. It didn’t go so well. We picked out a grassy area right in the middle of the park, laid our blanket out and started to eat. We didn’t go to the other area because there were monkeys. We thought they would steal our food. As soon as they saw we had food they came over to where we were sitting. They crept closer and closer until one of them stole our chapatti-an Indian bread. Some women sitting close to us told them that if we didn’t want the monkeys stealing our food we should make that were going to throw our shoes at them. We had to do that a lot. Second of all there were some men (if that’s what you want to call them) that were acting more like monkeys then the monkeys themselves! When we saw them coming they instantly saw us and headed towards us. They sat down two feet away from us and then started to stare. Sure, people stare at us all the time but this time it was different. They stared at us in a really mean way. Usually, people stare at us because their interested or “fascinated” but they stared at us to be mean. Then they started to talk to us. Of course while they were talking they were staring. I also think they were saying mean stuff to us in Gujurati. When they asked us where we were from we said we were from Russia. My name was Sasha, (but I really wanted it to be Borat) Hailey’s name was Anna-Lena, Moms name was Tanya and Dads name was Vladimier. Then they asked to see our passports and wanted to know if we had any Russian money. Of course we didn’t. I didn’t think that Russians would have any Russian have any of their money either. I also think they were pretty stupid because I was playing baseball. Russians don’t play baseball. Also at the park their were some other Indians. They weren’t bad. The only thing was that they wanted our blanket. I felt bad for them because they were probably homeless and if they were they didn’t follow us around and constantly bug us. They seemed to understand us better.


Tonight we are going on a overnight train to Agra. It has one of the seven wonders of the world: the Taj Mahal, which we will be going to see. That’s all for know.
Just in case you were wondering Sloan wrote this post. More pictures to come...
