So internet is crazy expensive so this is going to be super short. Spent two day in Athens, checked out the Acropolis but really didn't take in much more of the city. It was just a stop over before we hit SANTORINI!! So I'm in love with this island and now have plans to become a lighthouse keeper/fisherman/vineyard owner/diner owner. Should be good. School officially ended today so I'm on my way to get gussied up for the big celebratory dinner tonight. Shpuld be a riot. This is the part in the field school where people hook up or have a [View Full Entry]

So my second day ın Turkey has been very low key. Had a few lectures and am now doıng research for my presentatıon tomorrow. Enjoyıng Istanbul much more than some of the other places that we have been to on thıs trıp. People seem to understand the word ´no´and seem to get the whole concept of personal space. Also, ıt ıs so nıce to be ın a country where there are a lot (and I mean a lot) of good lookıng guys. Don´t get me wrong some of the other places there were some guys that weren´t bad to look at [View Full Entry]

My fourth day in Egypt is coming to a close. Much cleaner experience compared to India. The people still harass you at every chance but they are much friendlier about it. Had one guy grab my arm and try to drag me into a store. I think that is the only time some one has touched me and them almost getting decked. I've decided that I don't like the bigger cities. Cairo was nice, but it was too much of a pain in the ass to get around. Our second day in Egypt was great because we were able to see [View Full Entry]

Sorry another short update because the bus for the airport leaves soon. Yesterday we made our way to Agra and saw the red fort and the Taj Mahal. It took all day to see the Taj Mahal because we kept getting taken to other sites that had some historical significance related to the Taj. No one paid any attention to the poor tour guide at these places because we were tired (430am start), bored (we've seen enough forts and temples to last a lifetime) and all we really wanted to see was the Taj. When we did finally make it, WOW!! [View Full Entry]

India has a very distinct smell. It smells of cows and dirty people and urine and insense. I'm going to make this short because I'm running on lack of sleep,lack of food, lack of water and it's too damn hot to function right now. When we got back to Delhi it was 47 degrees celsius. Thank god it's not humide. Since the last time I sent a message I have taken 3 trains and a plane ride across this country. We went to Amritsar a few days ago. I like Amritsar better than Delhi. Saw the golden temple. Very impresive, [View Full Entry]

Yesterday/Today we managed to take one helllish (but really not that bad) couple of flights from Koh Samui to Delhi. Joy is looking over my shoulder as I write this and probably judging my spelling and how slow I type. Anyways we managed to get some rooms to clean up and rest before we hit the town. I couldn't sleep as usual so instead Jordan Jen and I wandered the streets of Delhi aimlessly for water and a post office. (This is Joy typing now becuase little K Mc is sleepy and slow) Oh... "what did we do then" oh so [View Full Entry]

I'm on my way to Delhi right now, just qwaiting for the plane to board. I don't know how much time I will have to make any updates once we hit the ground in India. It's going to be a crazy week of travelling between Delhi, Agra, Varanasi and Amritsar. I'll do my best to keep you up to date. Our last couple days in Koh Samui were pretty laid back. Never managed to make it to the full moon party too many people sick and tired from travelling. I'm going to try and send a package home from India when [View Full Entry]

So today was a great day. At first I was a little disappointed because we had been given the impression that our time on Ko Samui was going to be filled with a lot of lying around and resting up before we plowed our way through the last four countries. Also disappointed because hte place we a staying in is pretty ghetto. The shower doesn't work and doesn't even count as a shower seeing as it is just a half wall that sepperates it from the toilet. In the space between the half wall and the toilet there seems to be [View Full Entry]
