Vinny & Dogs Epic Trek Part 8: India and the Taj Mahal Asia » India » National Capital Territory » Delhi

Following my time in Cambodia, I decided to hit up India to see the Taj Mahal and to see for myself the illusions created by Rudyard Kipling and journalists of the early 1900's. I arrived in Delhi and I was expecting the airport to be a total shithole, as noted by many travelers who have passed through it. It wasn't as bad as I anticipated, and I have certainly been in worse (Cairo, Nairobi, among others). Well I fought my way through customs and into the country only to run into a road block at getting a ride. There are abuot [View Full Entry]

I, too, am a follower of Jesus Asia » India » Himachal Pradesh » Kinnaur

Krishan
cool lookin dude i'd say...

Krishan - "I too am a follower of Jesus." I entered into the Kinnaur Region of Himachal Pradesh with serious doubts about the possbililty of actually meeting any Christians. There is a church in Winston-Salem that has been touched by the evangelistical needs of Kinnaur and contacted a mission organizaton called Answering the Call who specializes in mobilizing nationl Christians in the most unreached areas of this world. Through a mutual friend I was introduced to the directon of ATC just two days before he set out to Kinnaur with the hopes of finding a strong Christian body who they can [View Full Entry]

harvest is ready - workers are too. Asia » India » Himachal Pradesh » Kinnaur

the evangelist
God has a great work for this man to do.

Narzyan told me with simplicity, "I didn't have any money, but I had to do what I could." If yiou are wondering...what he has done in 6 years is the following baptize hundreds, plant dozens of house churches throughout Kinnaur, found the only Christian school in all of the district, found a children's home, and sent 3 leaders off to Christian training colleges. Yes, all this was accomplished without any outside support, only by little profits provided by his family's humble apple orchard. Narzyan grew up in a Buddhist family and in a remote buddhist village. At age 16 he happened [View Full Entry]

Silks, oils and uncles Asia » India » Karnataka » Mysore

temple at Chamundi Hill, Mysore

Inspired by Mell (tried to do a link but can't seem to) who writes really enjoyable travel email blogs, I thought I'd put this one up which I sent to a friend of mine whilst travelling. I did also write it partly as a piece of writing I thought I could use one day. I've added in a few photos as well. 24 Jan 2007 Mysore Hi Tracey! How annoying - I was in the middle of a great piece of writing about Mysore, then the power failed (again) and I lost the lot. AAAARRGH! Ok let's try again..... So - [View Full Entry]

Mal nicht mehr Mcleod Ganj Asia » India » Uttarakhand » Dehradun

Parkanlage um das F.R.I
Beschreibung:Riesig!

So, jetzt einmal nicht mehr aus Mcleod Ganj. Wurde auch Zeit. Nachdem wirklich alle Menschen die ich kennen lernen durfte Mcleod verlassen hatten wurde es vor 2 Tagen auch fuer mich Zeit zu gehen. Allerdings war dies eine schwere Entscheidung. Nach harten Ueberlegungen aufgrund von Grippe (ja es hatte mich trotz 25 Grad erwischt) nahm ich zum Glueck den Bus in sonnige Dehra Dun. Wo ich auch nach 13 Stunden fahrt wohl behalten ankam. Zu Dehra Dun: Dehra Dun ist die Hauptstadt des Staates Uttarakhand und liegt auf 700 Meter. Somit liegt sie ca. 1200 Meter tiefer als Mcleod und ist [View Full Entry]

India - again? Asia » India » Kerala

Yes, it is me!
Sir Vivian Fuchs once said: "If you look anything like your passport photo, you aren't well enough to travel". I think I looked okay in my 1972 passport - but the years since have been very cruel!

I've been trying to work out exactly when I first travelled to India and how many times I've been back - and why?! My research took me back to my old passports (the Passport Office used to be quite happy to cut off the corner of your previous document and return it to you with your new one). My very first passport was issued in April 1962, in the days when I was carving out a career in the travel industry and rubber stamp manufacturers were making pots of money from immigration authorities. The visas and entry or exit stamps in [View Full Entry]

OLD COUPLES' KASHI-YATRA VIA KHAJURAHO Asia » India » Andhra Pradesh » Hyderabad » New Santoshnagar

OLD COUPLES’ KASI- YATRA VIA KHAJURAHO (1). Some of the Old Couples (those who have retired from Service/ Business) and would be Old Couples (those who are retiring shortly) who have read my travel blog ‘Jyotirlinga Tour of an Old Couple’ have sent emails expressing their appreciation of the details furnished and requested me to put in the travel blog any of my earlier pilgrimages to Punya Kshetras so that they would be a guide for future pilgrims. This request, along with my having no other work and plenty of time at disposal, prompted me to recollect and put i [View Full Entry]

hello!! well this week has been full of mixed emotions, mostly good but some not so good. i will start with the bad. yesterday after laura and I got back from Pondicherry we realised that her rucksack was missing and that the back gate into the forest had been left unlocked.

just a quick note Asia » India » Tamil Nadu » Auroville

after a conversation with my mum i just want to make a few things clear. i know laura and i said at first that we would be gone for 9 months, but i really dont think you can plan that far ahaed. i may be gone for a year or i may be gone 3 months, it really depends of how i feel. and even if i did come home i'd probably fly out again pretty shortly after. right now im having a wonderful time so i wont be home any time soon, but dont be thinking that you wont see [View Full Entry]

A bowl of peas in Jodhpur Asia » India » Rajasthan » Jodhpur

Smoking something...

Leaving Jaisalmer for Jodhpur, the Golden City for the Blue City, I got to try out yet another type of bus in India. This one was built more like a Greyhound bus you would see in the West, with one twist. Where buses typically have a lot of headroom, and a rack for bags, in this bus this space has been replaced with a number of bunk beds. For a few rupees more than a seat, you can lie down above everyone else's head and take a nap. I would be in there like a slinky, but an average sized woman [View Full Entry]
