Tras 2 dias de locura e insomnio nos toca dejar "El Foro" con sensaciones encontradas, por una parte ilusion de lo que podemos encontrar y por otra pena por lo que dejamos atras, sobre todo por la familia y los amigos ya que nos vamos a empezar a perder todo lo que os pase en 2007, asi que solo nos queda que nos lo podais transmitir a traves de la red. Terminamos de montar las mochilas a la 1 de la manhana y nos ponemos en marcha a las 3:30 para poder despedirnos, en condiciones, de las "otras" mujeres de Javier, las de sangre. Nudo en la garganta y a por la primera peticion de madrugada, ya sabes fer que cumplimos tus deseos a rajatabla...?Era Air Pullmantur donde trabajabas, verdad, topito? A mi los colores me ... read more

19 HOURS AND 40 MINUTES TO GO!! Hello...well its that time guys, just 19 h rs and 40 mins till the take off!!. Suffered with a huge hangover today after a fantastic send off last night at Athens in Birmingham. Lots of drinking, eating, dancing on tables, dancing in the street and of course some plate smashing. With plenty of photographic evidence!. I think, no in fact I know that I was certainly the most drunk, finished the evening by throwing up in the bathroom sink!! although I can't remember so it doesn't count . ... read more

As I stand in the queue, at around 7am on a cold and slightly wet winters morning, I make acquaintances with others who are heading in the same direction as me, to the whole in the wall and to India. Consulate General of India located in Birmingham, is a bit like stepping into India itself. The smell, the decor, and 'no-expense-spared-my-arse' environment makes you wonder how a country so advanced in so many ways has not got up to speed with commercial appearance. You have to get there for 7am to get a ticket early enough when the doors open at 9.30am so you can hand in a Visa Application and collect it in the afternoon. It turned out to be quite an enjoyable experience however, spending my time talking to several people in the queue. ... read more

So it seems that everyone I know here thinks I eat way too much. It is said that by the time I leave I will be at least 300 lbs. It is true, I do eat alot. ALOT. How many times have you heard me say I'm hungry -right after I've eaten. Second breakfast and elevensies all the time. My clothes all still fit and haven't really gained any weight so I keep eating at the same pace. So no one was really surprized when I took a day trip to CADBURY WORLD! It's just outside of Birmingham and basically the only thing to see there except lots of shops. Bournville is a town founded by the Cadbury brothers to have a place for the factory workers - how cool is that to have a town ... read more

I'm keeping this diary to remind myself of my life in years to come, to remind others that I am still alive, and because I don't like the idea of group emails. I haven't travelled very far at the moment. In fact, I'm in my bedroom in Birmingham and am actually confined within the West Midlands for the next week, having been 'grounded' (does that word still exist these days?) for the first time in my life. Apparently this is meant to make me organise my life, but so far all I have done is gone shopping in Birmingham lots and attempted to buy loads of things over the internet. My plans for the next year, before I sell my soul to Rothschild include teaching in China, feeding baby lions somewhere in Africa, not getting shot ... read more

Just a note to let you all know that since I have been back home I have added some photos onto all my blogs from the last 5 months so if any of you are interested (or for those of you who find reading a bit too much of an effort) you can go back through them and see what it was I was waffling on about. And if any of you are gluttons for punishment there are plenty more where they came from!... read more

Here's an interesting thing about Birmingham. They're all for tourism, but on their own terms. We turned up at the Jewellery Quater Museum to have a look around... -Oh I'm sorry, the last tour just left (Museum lady) -I didn't know there was a tour, I thought it was a museum. (me) -Well, the last one for the day has left, I'm sorry. -Ok... -You can have a look on the first floor, but the tour has gone. -Right, well, can I book for the tour tomorrow? -No, you can't book a tour, you have to be over 10 -I'm 28 -No, over 10 people -Oh, well, how do I get on a tour -Turn up tomorrow, if there's room, you can go. hmmm. Interesting. Oh well, you live and learn. What I've learnt here is ... read more
