Hi guys!

On March 16th, me and Keef met up with Patricia Kerkhofs from Belgium and Myriam Aadli from France at 9 am.
Myriam had asked for my advice in finding a residential area with lots of street life and as it happened, I had found such a place not long from our flat. It was the same place I went to the afternoon before.

We had a good 3-4 hours of shooting in the Taltala district as it's called. A large percentage of people there are moslems but many are also hindus. I talked to a man there who said that moslems, hindus and also christians have lived there in harmony for hundreds of years. You can find Mother Theresas house on the edge of this district.We had lots of contact with the locals, especially Myriam who got to hold a kid and hug an old lady!

Lunchtime came around and we had a nice meal at Patricias hotel. The AC and otherwise luxurious environment felt comfortable, but also a bit strange after spending time in a neighborhood with a lot of poverty. We had a good long chat before me and Keef went back to our place to pack our bags and get ready for the trip home on the next day.

My host in the first airbnb, Riju had gotten in touch and he came with us to dinner on our last night in town. Just a simple meal after the bigger lunch - on last of those delicious Kolkata chicken egg rolls! Riju is such a nice guy and so positive and hopeful! I do think he has a great future ahead of him! We had a great chat with him about all his plans before saying goodbye and good night at the flat.

Be well, everybody!
