Amid all the learning\/absorbing, we get to know each other- and a little about our professors. To top off one of the lessons- we listened to popular music and India\u2019s growing rap scene.<\/p>\n<p>The preparatory week\u00a0culminated in a fun but enriching experience- visiting an Indian-American community in Jackson Heights, New York. You haven\u2019t lived if you have not tried Indian cuisine- (thanks Ruma and Ben) we all LOVED it! I am happy to say- we have become close in the few days that we have spent together.
