Still following you...
Hi Malcolm, still following you via your blog, and enjoying it, keep it up while U can////we still have snow on the ground, and my mum suffered at the hands of Ryan Air on Tuesday, after a day at Stanstead they cancelled her flight to Dublin. Now she's stuck over here for Christmas. Which reminds me, Merry Christmas, just in case you dont get back on the internet....

Hi Malc Well, you have one envious reader. You'll recall that we met on the Laos and Cambodia trip a couple of years back, and am greatly enjoying the memories your blog is bringing back. Do you remember Christmas night in that tiny village singing carols round a campfire with a French group, drinking BeerLao and enjoying the remarkably cheap Lao whisky? This year I was supposed to be in Jordan, but couldn't get out of Heathrow, so am spending my first Christmas at home in years. Hence the title of this entry. Keep blogging, and I'll hope for some photos. My love to Luang Prabang!

Please mail me your comments, ideas, observations on this. I'm based in Delhi and this research is for the improvement of signage systems in the city. Thanks Raman

taxi proble
There is no radio taxi facility available in Agra, always you have to bargain with local drivers but hope well for the future. Few of the taxi service providers from Delhi now starting service in Agra also. Agra India

I don't know why I've signed up really, because I'm already green with envy. I hope the first bit goes smoothly anyway.

Yes it was an unusual way to spend the morning but very enlightening. Many people have heard of the landmine situation in Cambodia (I seem to remember that Princess Di got involved in a campaign, or was it Bono / Geldorf?) but no-one sems to know about the situation in Laos. They have landmines here as well, but for the moment have decided to leave them and concentrate on the bomb clearance. And then you find out that at the present rate it will take 3,000 years to clear the bombs!!
