The point of Holi The Wikipedia is probably not entirely accurate but would give you a vague idea of its mythological significance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holi#Significance
:) :( <333 Oh dears! Sickness doesn't sound too good! :( :( :( HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON! :)
Holi is BRILLIANT! :D
Good luck with teaching and everything else! <3<3<3
:( <333333333333333 Yeah, it sounds like quite a surreal (?) experience to be experiencing closely something this significant globally at this point in time!
As I said to you yesterday, as long as you guys are all safe! :) <3<3<3<3<3
ahaha. you may be pleased to know that I got an email from the Vice-Chancellor of Usyd supporting Earth Hour, so we should all shoot out our lights on the 29th March, blah blah. and then I realised, I'm on Law camp then :P

Trees /are/ love. :3 How could you not love something that supplies us with oxygen to breathe and is a key part of the water cycle? ^_^
:o Vegemite!!!
*laughs at your mobile spam* XD
Mmm, now the Do Not Disturb register will be sending you stuff. :P

Monks, nuns and holy people living dangerously :) Hey Julia,
This is Tom from China. We spoke a bit during the TEFL. I really like the idea of monks and nuns operating under the law. It sounds hilarious. Just goes to show you can have fun, even if you give up most worldy things. How's your teaching going? What's life for you like in India? I hope everything is going well :%
Wow, I just found out the reason you are in India now, ie. helping Tibetan refugees learn English! I must say I respect what you are doing a lot. The important thing is that in a world of globalisation, you are learning about Indian and Tibetan culture just as much as they are learning of Australia's (I hope). Cultural interaction is a wonderful thing as long as the transfer of cultural knowledge and experiences goes both ways, which sadly doesn't always happen. Often one civilisation has absorbed another, often technologically more primitive, but culturally just as if not more rich, which is something that should be prevented.
Preserving the world's diversity of lifestyles and cultural environments, especially those close to extinction, is imperative for human society as a whole, similar to protecting the natural environment.
Rofl, you will die if you follow the written rules/laws of driving in India, but you need to follow the unwritten rules, which can be summarised as "Use your ears more than your eyes." One of my uncles is virtually blind in one eye but can still drive because he can sense where the other vehicles are on the road from their constant horn honking.
Off to India (to see the maharajahs!)
Virtual cookies to anyone who knows where that's from (assuming I got it right XD)
I'll most likely be keeping you posted about India and subsequent travel here, with the occasional email. Hopefully I can put up some photos, too.... full info

Its been a while!
Since your last post. Are you planning to write or are you such a remote part of India that there's no internet?
