Well, we've left sadhana forest which was weird, went to Bangalore where we spent two nights, and now we are in Mysore. Bangalore was crazy and very busy, but luckily we were on the out skirts which mean we had a nice guest house for not that much money, the only tricky thing was getting around the place. Rickshaws and everywhere but they all want to rip you off. At our hostel we actually had a balcony (albeit a tiny one, but a balcony none the less). To get to Bangalore from Pondicherry, we had to travel on a Sleeper bus, [View Full Entry]

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]

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. After an hour of searching through trees (without any help) we came across it, although the bottom locked compartment had been forced open although nothing was taen except some english money. sadly i was not so lucky. they stole both my torches, my eppilator, my memory stick and a photo [View Full Entry]

hello people of england, how are you all? good i hope. well well well, weve just got back from kodaikanal, which was a 12 hour bus journey from pondicherry in a semi-sleeper. surprisingly very very comfortable!! better than the mega bus. we went with two other american volunteers from sadhana which was fun, although we stayed in a tiny run down guest house which was exacty what i imagiened a drug den to look like. the roof was leaky and i got dripped on every night, the dogs lurked in the outdoor toilet and you didnt see them until the least [View Full Entry]
