You gotta love Indian bus drivers Brilliant blog entry again. I'm so enjoying reading these. I'll remember the part about the sad looking chimpanzee! Hope you enjoy Jaisalmer. Sounds like you're having a wonderful time!
That english woman sounded like a dick but you were absolutely spot on so fair play.
Sounds like good times bro, cant believe its 2 years since I was doing the same... so glad you're getting to have the same experiences! 2 years ago today I was in Udaipur funnily enough!
May give u a ring in a lil bit, keep enjoying!
Welcome to Rajasthan! You've got to love Indian trains! The memory of them never fades! Can't wait to try the new mobile phone number. Still loving the writing style.

Mate, your blogs are jokes!!! Hope you have a good time, u want an address of some ppl/family in india??
oh, advice, men are a tad gay and will attempt to hold your hand
in the 5 months tht u are away, try and get as tanned/brown/shitty coloured skin colour than i have!!!!
Imaginary Girl How come the girl pulling off the sick dance was imaginary? Wouldn't she have been rather hard to film in that case :-) ? I'm not surprised it was a moving experience at Leopolds, it'll probably continue to be that moving for everyone who's ever had an connection with the place, a bit like me going back to the WTC site. I'm definitely liking the writing style - well done!
Sunlight and Pollution I think you captured it well with that phrase. I remember that about Mumbai too. The same is true of KL by the way, especially during the forest burning season in Borneo!! Luke gave me Shantaram for my birthday and I still haven't got to the end of it. I really must find time between lectures and exams to finish it! You should check out Marine Drive at night. I think it's better then than in the day. P.S - how many cows have you "met" so far???
Great blog Yay! So glad to be receiving these now. Well it sounds like you've developed a taste for expensive business class seats. If you think BA is good, you should experience the new AA business class trans-atlantic (though not against my bank account!!! hehe). Good writing style too .... definitely fun to read!
I want to be there!
Are you going to that place Nathan got me the tea form near kerrala?? will send you some money to get me some cardammom tea and post it back if so!!!! :)
keep writing!!!! But if it takes too much time you could always write less - up to you really and how much you want to be blogging ;-)
As for the rich/poor side by side, Sierra Leone was like that - remember seeing a house with about 8 shiny mercs parked outside and a tin shack with no door or much in the way of walls right next door to it - it's shocking and you never forget it.
btw will never look at toad in the hole quite the same way again!!! x
Keep Writing These are the highligh of my days lol. Seen as my busiest day involves 3 hours of lectures i have a fair bit of spare time so write as much as you want! Its also the most reading i think ive ever done!

I just realized Simon burns in the sun, upload the phone when he looks like a red tomato :) and I'm jealous and you guys didn't even say good bye pshhhh :P
Wahey, good old Imran, he found u before u found him then ey!
Impressed how much you've written! Enjooooooooy (it snowed here today and I spent 23 hours out of the last 48 in the library so do make the most of it, you've got all this to come)!!
Thanks Just wanted to say that your two posts so far have been very good at giving me something to do in lectures so just wanted to say thanks and keep up the good work! x
