Leaf: My Indian friend once taught me how to make a green banana curry. In Asia unripe mangoes, bananas and guavas can all be considered 'ready to eat', which I like in general, but used to find frustrating when I had a garden in India and I never ate a ripe fruit from it.  (Luang Nam Tha, Laos)

Rae: That's my beautiful sister in the red top and black pants. She's taking a salsa class in the park at the harbour, which I find terrifying. I went along one day but I only danced with Kenya. Becca is so brave. (Kelowna, Canada)
