Three things for the first time.

In the course of the last two weeks I have tried three things for the first time. 1: drinking coconut milk. 2: Eating mango. 3: experiencing a Kerala thunder storm.
Drinking the coconut milk was the most pleasant thing. One of the members of the IISE family had her birthday and to celebrate she ordered coconuts for all of uss. Coconut milk is regarded to be very healthy. At first I thought it tasted a bit strange, but I quickly got used to it. As well as being so healthy it is also very filling. After two coconuts I was very full and had a lot of energy. I think I will go and buy more coconuts in the near future. Then we come to the mangos. In our campus we have a mango tree. We had to get the mangos down from the tree with a big stick. When I first tasted the mangos they where still very green and hard. I did not like them at all. So the day after I tried again and somehow I thought it tasted better. I put salt on them and they became eatable. Now I eat mangos every day and enjoying it. The thunder storm was not a very nice experience. I was sitting at the breakfast table when I heard aa big bang!! I was screaming. I had never heard thunder so loud in my whole life. The same night there came another band that was even more loud. I was screaming again. I have not heard any after that. I need to get used to this thunder, because the monsun is coming soon...
