. especially since we're like foster parents too proud to be part and if you don't throw parties shouldn't. even talk to teach how to cook german food for instance is kind of going to be the thing i can't say i've assimilated into german society in just 6 years. my wife i beat and i'm cuisine that i can't change completely in just 6 years ok and under whom other aspects of the german lifestyle have been far more appealing. your bucket here feeling like i'm playing much there that something that's a really good here in germany. a pleasant evening in this part of germany involves vegetarian and good friends fits right in. that people here would say it's edible and up for. in his 6 years in germany the tea she has gone all but native. that is except when it

comes to such a fundamental life event as a wedding that has to happen in india. his old friends georg and hilda good have arrived from germany. to them pick out clothes appropriate to the big occasion with his expert advice they go shopping at the best department store in honeypot pretty shoes hometown. who do is read it here top of the i wouldn't buy anything else if it suits you. to say look at me i had never read anything i didn't know you didn't and i think you do now it's georg's turn. to go with a new book or i'd rather try something in this cause i think it will be expensive you know the feeling now you look like a prince there's no i don't want to look like a prince just like a normal indian a model in the dr who you got once nice i'd like that one myself

and we're collectors sure those showers. we are going through that. this really shows the ones who don't force the. course ok great i'll take this one there's. been a lot of me thought that they can't stop laughing i think you're going to be already dressed like a genuine indian. georg style is a hit. they have a little time to enjoy the indian ocean before the celebration begins. unlike western custom the bridal couple don't have to avoid meeting before the wedding. yet just i'm about to see here now i have permission to reveal. the bride and her family are from northern india. this is my father.

and then comes another surprise. i can speak a little german i learned at the great institute you. say. you come up i come from delhi. that's about 3000 kilometers away right. that he's not delhi is a northern india and corollas in southern india suit. me i'm very excited that. the evening before the wedding the women celebrate with lots of music and dance. for a new it's a marriage of love she met her future husband on the internet he was in stuttgart and she was in delhi she had to obtain her parents' permission it took her 2 years

to do so. neither set of parents will end up seeing much of their children. i'll have to live in germany. i like it there. in digs if i see in the winter. when i was in germany once in january when it snowed. night and i'm and once in summer more than tomorrow i have no idea what to expect it's a southern indian wedding. the city's convention center has been booked for the celebration everybody's either working on preparations or waiting for it to happen . a.

he'll do it uses the time to have a good look around the kitchen. this is good for everybody he. was facing 26 was i so far i think i could say i did i did that by that i think it tells it was it over the it said that. was. i to cook proudly shows the guests everything the crew has been cooking around the clock for 2 days using various blends of many spices. i think it is but i can't imagine how fetish could be german food when it's used as this used to us you know there was is that he never let on that it seemed strange to him in fact he always ate everything this up as he did say he had to practice

a bit to be able to handle german food it's all right i say so given our meat and potatoes diet but decide. that $500.00 guests are expected to hit they started trickling in. at last the celebrations can begin. following long established rituals the bride and groom approached the brahman the priest. it. hit. it i hit. it i knew who pays homage to her future mother in law. her own mother takes leave of her. and prestige takes or as his wife.

some of the rituals are unknown to a new. but exchanging rings has a symbolic meaning that everyone understands. just as obligatory are the wedding photos including the german friends who travelled so far to be here. as soon as the ceremonies

over the moment comes that everyone's been waiting for it's time to challenge down . in this region the wedding feast is made up of 23 different small portions served on banana leaves. in the focus of the. watch. the only ones who have to wait are the bridal couple reams of photos are taken up hill to it and georg take a moment for themselves. the obvious lucas they were kind of exhausted an overwhelmed by all the variety confronting us here we really don't understand much of it might take on the extras to the 100000000 which we couldn't even figure out what it was supposed to be about. the

reception continues into the evening for the close friends and relatives. practitioners father looks after the german friends. private photos. meanwhile the groom gives his impression of how things went. so i think it was stressful yes. but it all went smoothly. though it was a bit much with all the photographers guns and. they wore us out if they stayed here till around 5 o'clock would fool might have wasted day i change saris 3 times today if it's a little bit you need and this one's a and so this is my 4th. but the why did you write it that you know that if. his mother mrs him already we're going to. have my number.

see my mother says that since i've been away. she doesn't look at the stars in the sky anymore because they remind her that i'm so far away this is she's very sad that i'm in such a far off place. that. the celebrations don't pass a long way to go 3 days later it continues at the bride time in delhi. of the soul indoors it wouldn't have been easy to get married in germany and so on it's all very different when you do it in india. for a bride and groom it was a celebration that will stay with them long after they've moved to germany.

later and more beer what else is there today i want to find out what munich's got to offer for trying to respond to come here for education. how about chimps of art . history. and culture. munich's got something well the. public. there's a future of zimbabwe students at the prestigious falcon college. here boys and girls of different races learn together. when they finish school they take on the responsibility of fighting to ensure zimbabwe is a tolerant and democratic country elite top boarding school. system 60 minutes long t.w. . takes personally un with all
