| 5th March 2009 hsieh hsiang chee | mushrooms suppliers. - From: Shillong, Meghalaya State Hi. sir. I have seem your 4 photoes which take place in Shillong. very nice mushrooms were shows. Can you give me some details of mushrooms supplier. if you can give me address or mobile n umber so that I can contact with them. Thanks. |
| 23rd February 2009 jimguru | Shillong safety and food.. - From: Shillong, Meghalaya State Hi Shasta..well it's been almost a year...things change quickly..but we felt perfectly safe there, and the food was fine, although I wouldn't say it was stunning, either. Finding accommodation was a hassle - there just seemed to be a shortage generally. It is a nice place and the locals were really friendly. Bo a google for "shillong" and "news" to get an update on any current issues that might have a security impact...and just keep checking local papers while you're in the North East and you should be fine. Try for Arunachal if you can while there - it's brilliant! |
| 9th February 2009 Shasta | - From: Shillong, Meghalaya State Jim, Hello there ... we are getting ready to go to Shillong in about 2 1/2 weeks. What can you tell me about the food, the safety, the transportation ...etc. We have lived in Africa for the last 2 years so accustomed to a lot of things that mist might not. However, you know first hand experience is the best. Thanks. Shasta |
| 22nd May 2008 jimguru | Damn those filters - From: Transit, via Thailand It's way too much trouble trying to get the site unblocked from overseas I've found, so if it is blocked, I guess that's one more educational opportunity lost. I guess I'll know better next time.... |
| 22nd May 2008 Ralf | - From: Central Arunachal Pradesh I liked Daporijo because it had a bit of the wild west (or in this case east) feel to it... But I suppose it is a bit of a shithole... Ha, ha, ha... Nice pics and stories! |
| 20th May 2008 pam staples | wandering with you - From: A confluence missed. James, your travels are great reading, very evocative. We are reading between the lines and can appreciate some of the difficulties of public transport!! Glad you can still smile after being sick, hope you are feeling better. Keep enjoying yourself... |
| 19th May 2008 jimguru | Latitude and longitude - From: Western Arunachal Pradesh I'll try and build a map in here - that'll give you an idea where I was - but probably make the blog load slower...:( Yes I still carry the GPS, but all the originally planned confluence visits have gone out the window - I blogged why about the first one, and as for the ones in Arunachal - they MIGHT seem possible looking at a google earth map, but once you see the terrain/vegetation up close?!!! Each needs a serious expedition...and I didn't have the time. Still, I did notice there's one in the Andamans............lol |
| 18th May 2008 Greg | co ordinates - From: Western Arunachal Pradesh Hi Jim First time I've seen the blog. Colleen showed me where it is. Any chance of getting latitude & longitute of the places so we can see you on google earth? Also which are the "special" coordinates where you have to take the photos? You do have the GPS still? We are recovering from Giesla's 50th last night. Vicki stayed here last night. Keep your gloves on Greg |
| 16th May 2008 Molly | G'day from SRC! - From: Western Arunachal Pradesh Hi Mr. Richardson! It's Molly here on behalf of the SRC. We would have commented earlier but none of us check our school emails (as you know) and also this site is blocked at school (of course). Sounds like you're having a good time! Those are nice pictures too. Hope everything is well! From, Captains, Vice Captains (except Ryan) and other SRC members. |
| 13th May 2008 jimguru | Portal blockage - From: Transit, via Thailand Bianca: I'll log into my DET a/c and email them - they did unblock it but maybe only at my page level?.or else the right hand has undone what the left hand did? Thanks for the comment and I hope you are relaxing as well as studying...;) |
| 9th May 2008 Kerrie Lander | Challenging times - From: A confluence missed. Fascinating reading! Please keep up the news and photos, but look after yourself. |
| 8th May 2008 Bianca | - From: Transit, via Thailand P.S, tried looking at your blog from school today and it doens't work.....site blocked. am accessing this from home...your plan didn't work |
| 8th May 2008 Bianca | - From: It never rains..... Aha!!! But here I am, a student reading the travel diary of Mr Richardson. I'm sorry it took me so long but I have only just checked my school emails. What with exams and holidays. Sorry sir. |
| 4th May 2008 jimguru | People are worried about me? - From: A confluence missed. Hmmm...they'd be even more worried if I included descriptions of the roads and driving!! Try Googling for "North East India" + terrorism, too, if you really want to scare them. On the other hand, life is inherently tenuous, so best make the most of it. |
| 3rd May 2008 helen creagh | too good - From: A confluence missed. You might have missed the confluence but wow ! what a trip. reminds me of heart of darkness - that intense. No new here. all fine . I follow your blog with interest but some of the others are worried for you! They think you would be much safer in Europe! Helen |
| 21st April 2008 jimguru | Yes, Bihu was great... - From: More from Guwahati and I must thank you for your advice about trying to line up people for permits BEFORE getting there..we haven't met that many travellers here in the North East. |
| 20th April 2008 Colleen | - From: Kolkata and Guwahati Thanks Jim It feels as though we are experiencing some of your travels. It has motivated Greg to do the same when we go to China love Colleen |
| 19th April 2008 His Dudeness | So you have arrived... - From: More from Guwahati Good to see you have arrived in Guwahati... And for Bihu! Nice, nice, nice... I will be watching your progress... Have fun! |
| 16th April 2008 jimguru | Photos coming - From: Kolkata and Guwahati Check back later for photos - infrastructures not so good in Guwahati, so uploads are difficult |
| 14th April 2008 pam | great photos - From: Thai BLING James I have sent you a private email via this blog, hope it arrives ok. Fantastic to see you travelling and feeel quite jealous. Your photos are great, bring back lots of memories..there is a real sense of being there with you. Hope the bike went ok. Magic that we can be there too so keep enjoying for all of us..all that glitters is gold?? love pam |
| 4th April 2008 Helen Creagh | Koh Chang - From: Transit, via Thailand It looks unreal ! I love your hut & the gardens. Yr 12 are on exams but i will tell them and the SRC your website on Monday. All good here Half your luck Helen |
| 31st March 2008 Ian Davies | G'Day - From: The difficulties of long distance planning It is good to hear you are alive and well. I am sure the students will get a kick out of blogging with you. I will ensure something is in next weeks newsletter. |
| 6th February 2008 shahwar hussain | maybe we will meet in NE - From: It never rains..... Hi, been through your blogs wanting company and the offer of a motorcycle ride. I am sure you will enjoy the motorcycle ride very much. I am from Assam but live in Delhi and hopefully I might run into you in April. I and a friend are taking a 25,000 km motorcycle trip through all the north eastern states from March (Inshallah) and it would be great if we meet. If your students can read your blogs about NE India it would be simply great. We have a very different lifestyle and culture and there is very little in common with the rest of India. Enjoy your trip.. Cheers Shahwar |
| 2nd February 2008 Claire | Good luck! - From: The first big step Have a great trip, found your site when I was intrigued that someone had asked for travel companions for NE India. No one ever goes there. I spent the summers of 2005 and 2006 (and plan for 2008) in Shillong in Megalaya. It's easily my favourite part of the world. AND absolutely no tourists, not one the entire time, but that looks set to change soon. How are you going about getting permits? I never needed one for Megalaya. Best of luck! Claire |
