I spent the day with five beautiful women. We met in my German class. We we to a Sikh Gurdwara (temple) and participated in the community meal langhar. One woman is Sikh, one Hindu, three are Muslim. We went to a Mosque afterwards. The kindness, acceptance and generosity was beautiful.

Hope you will check it out!

Also, look for a local Sikh Gurdwara!
One of the tenants of Sikhism is Langar. Free meals to anyone of any class, race, religion. Nojudgemental. Find their schedule.

I respect Sikhism immensely for that practice

It’s like the first day of high school- when all the local middle schools converge into one building, and you are trying to find your old friends- but they look different. You keep bumping into new people, getting distracted. I am looking for MY PEOPLE! WHERE ARE YOUUUUUUUUU? (Insert ECHO)

Donald Trump has threatened a tax of at least 60% on goods from China. The move has the potential to decimate small American brands and could lead to heftier price tags for shoppers.
