Brendon McCullum

Hi all,

Kolkata is beginning to feel like home! All the loud noises, yelling etc. are something I'm getting used too. Today I purchased an "authentic" Kolkata Knight Riders shirt from the sports market. Soon after this, Mr Skeen pointed me in the direction of an on-the-spot shirt printer who was offering prints on the back of a shirt for 3 rupee per letter. So I got MCCULLUM printed onto the back of my shirt (he plays for the Knight Riders). On my way home I caught the attention of several budding Knight Rider supporters and they said "Ohh Knight Riders! Good! Good!" and after I acknowledged their appreciation for my shirt, they saw the name McCullum printed on the back and yelled "Ahh Brendon McCullum! New Zealand!!" this gave me a real sense of pride for where I'm from and a reminder of how much I have been missing everyone back home. I'm going to continue to wear the shirt for that very reason (even though it is extremely tight fitting and short despite asking for an XXXL).
