India.

hello people!
I'd like to compile a bunch of 'snapshots' (short written excerpts, video or music clips, articles, links, etc) to share with kids in India about life in high school in the US. (They'll be about your age, juniors and seniors). Since I'm not in high school, I thought I'd appeal to the experts.
Sooo..post anything you'd like to share here. Here are some questions kids in India will ask/want to ask:

-- How do you use technology?
-- How do you get to/from school?
-- What do you do in your 'free' time (are you a secret ninja?)
-- sports, drama, etc?
-- religion. This is a tough one; keep in mind your goal is to share experiences, and that students in India celebrate Muslim festivals even if they're Hindu, and vice versa. I have no idea what they know about Judaism.
-- What about Newton South frustrates you? (haha). What do you like about South?
-- What are your goals for the next five years? The next ten?
-- Finally: ask a question you have about being a student in India.

NOTE: you know this, but be appropriate. You're representing yourself, your school and your country. (I'm not usually one for patriotism, but in this case...I sort of am. :-))
PS: This is something to do because you're interested, and because you might get some interesting responses back to your questions. That is, it's not for extra credit.
