We start our bonus week in Rajasthan, a state in India’s northwest. Rajasthan (“Land of Kings”) is India’s largest state by area though not by population, in part because its land includes the vast Thar Desert. The state is known for its vibrant ghoomar dancing, epic folk songs and colorful embroidery and block print art. It also home to several wildlife refuges — a great place to see tigers — and is potentially the ancestral land of the Romani people, who migrated westward and now mainly live in Europe.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
