Hidy ho blogger buddies, So, my time in Mcleod has come to an end. Over the last month I have been continuing to teach classes at Tibet Charity. I was very sad to leave as I got really attatched to the students and absolutely love teaching. It's a bit of a power trip once you're used to it! The students are so sweet and appreciative of the teachers. Maartje and I talked about how the tibetans are really too sweet for this world. Around teaching I have been mostly chilling in various ways. I have been really lucky to have been in Mcleod for both the Dalai Lama's and the Karmapa's birthdays. (The Karmapa is the third most highly regarded Lama in Tibetan buddhism, behind the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama (who I mentioned last ... read more

ello everybody! (none of that cheesey 'blogger buddies' crap when i'm in charge, haha!) it's grace writing this one, as you can probably tell due to the improvement in style, spelling, grammar etc. i haven't written many of these actually....mainly because i'm too lazy, but as this is going to be the last blog entry while i'm around, i thought it would be appropriate. so yes, tomorrow evening i'll be back in the cultural hub that is Ely, craziness! It's weird because even though this destination is the closest we've been to home since we left england, it definitely feels like we're the furthest from home we've ever been. Anyhow, enough of this, let's bring you up to date on our adventures! On the night of the 19th we arrived at Delhi airport, and everything since ... read more

Asia now blogger buddies! Singapore is a hustley bustley kinda town. Very clean, very clean. Lots of lights, lots of cameras, lots of action. Stayed in a cool little hostel in little India. Apparently voted the best hostel in Asia by lonely planet. That might be going a bit far. Best things we did were, eating lots of cheapy yummy asian food, checking out the botanic gardens and finding a spot up on Mt Faber, overlooking the whole place lit up at night. LOL (lots of love) Chris and Grace xxxxxxxxxx... read more

Hi blogger buddies! Long time, no blogging. We have come to the end of our time in NZ, which is very sad because this country is sweet as bro. (we've picked up some of the lingo) The last week and a bit has included such highlights as, a trip to Milford sound, bungying off the highest bungy in australasia, 134M!!! and getting quite drunk most of the time with our fellow kiwi experiencers, who are a great bunch of lads and ladettes (we have to say that because lots of them have been added to the blog!) So without further ado, more piccies... Love Chris and Grace xxxxxx... read more
