Indian Barbie
(Back of the Box)
Hello, I’m Indian Barbie. Welcome to my beautiful country! If you come to India you will see a rich mixture of the old and the new. On one hand, we have wondrous monuments like the Taj Mahal (one of the wonders of the world!) which is approximately 400 years old! On the other hand, we have technology that is taking us into the space age, too! As you journey across India, you might think you are in different countries! People live very different lifestyles throughout all of India. You will see people dressing, speaking, writing, and even eating differently! Speaking of eating, the food is full of many different flavors, like chilies and peppers as well as other spices that give it unique and interesting tastes. Most people only eat vegetables and rice with chappattis (thin bread, like a little pancake). We do not eat with knives and forks because we truly enjoy eating with our hands. We very delicately use our fingertips to eat our food. Mm-m! There are many ways to travel through my country besides planes, trains, cars and taxis. There are richsaws or tongas (carts pulled by a cow, buffalo, horse or a camel) to ride in. Or perhaps you would ride a motor bike or scooter! For shopping, everyone goes to the bazaars (outdoor markets) where you can buy whatever you need. Some vendors have stalls where they sel things like clothing and jewelry. Others display baskets of many different kinds of fruits and vegetables. It’s very busy and there are lots of things to see! In my country, we look forward to the moonsoons (seasonal wind that blwos over the Indian Ocean) when the rain will bring the temperatures down. Farmers especially appreciate the monsoons because they are essential for good crops. Sometimes the monsoon brings too much rain and causes blooding or brings too little rain and causes a drought. In the wintertime, India can be very cold, so we wear woolen hats and shawls to keep warm. In the summertime, most of parts of the country are very hot and people prefer to wear light, loose fitting cotton clothes. I am wearing a typical Indian sari, a two-piece outfit–including my shawl!–that is said to enhance the beauty of the Indian woman! It comes in a variety of colors, textures and fabrics with thousands of designs to choose from! Would you like to come to India and try on a beautiful sari and golden slippers like mine? I hope you will come soon! Good bye!
