the first step...

hello everyone. im sorry if my spelling gets a bit erratic but laura's mini lap top seems too small for my big hands :S
okay, well we're here, there was some trouble with the flights because luckily air india deided to strike on the day we wanted to travel. all was okay though, we got to fly with jet airways, and i experienced my first plane ride with films..and i went crazy. i watched 3..one being he's just not that into you, which made me doubt everything i ever thought about men, the film was designed to make women think that all men hate them.
the taxi ride was 4 hours long, we saw many cows roaming wild, but they drive absolutely crazily over here!!!
at the vegan place now, its very hot, we had 30 seconds of light rain this morning..i wish there had been more. i feel a bit ill though, couldnt quite mange breakfast this morning. the work is hard, but there is a lot of time just to relax...you shower with a cup and a bucket, which was surprisingly wonderful. we planned to stay here for two months, but i think we're only going to stay 2 weeks.
i hate to say it, but i am feeling very homesick...ive never felt this bad before, BUT i will man up and carry on! i think i will be home in 6 months though at the latest, i feel that that would b long enough, and i also dont have enough money :S
so think about that!! you only have to go one holiday without my presence. i will be back by easter 😊 we might even leave asia before than and go around europe, i am still unsure, but we are going to tak it all one day at a time.
dont forget me! i think about you all..but im trying to stear clear of facebook because it makes me feel even more homesick.

im sending my love and hugs (not you sarah lacey you hugaphobe) but you all you others. i will try and send you postcards, but i still have yet to figureout prices of sending things home.

lots and lots of love, kate xxxx

Soso glad you're there and alive. I see my plan to disrupt Air India failed...I knew stinkbombs and waterguns werent hard core enough. As much as Id love you to be back by easter, Im not holding my breath. You'll grow to love it, be a man and complete all your plans! xx (ps that film also messed with my mind. I also dont trust computers too much thanks to i, robot) oh we need to hook up a skype chat soon. unless itd make you feel worse?
