f.a.o my chums Found a scanner in india! saves me posting them! this is where i sit 4-5 nights a week watching the sun go down....tis just as lush every time jules i coudlnt work out wether the sun would still go down in the same place when your here cause i didnt pay attention at school....maybe in 6 month time it will go down over the bridge behind which wont be as nice
this ISN'T the taj mahal...beleive it or not! some whacko made a replica of it....still pretty damn nifty i thought! saves me a 58 hour train journey to have my photo taken next to a building
if i don't bring this little poppet home in my backpack then be very suprised! he spends most of his day lay on a concrete floor without a nappy
another orphan in great danger of being smuggled back to england/america! (but more likely she will be shipped out to a danish adoption agency for some weird reason)
Imagine a group of british children being made to sleep on a concrete floor? yeah right! they would all be ringing childline!
Blue line taxi's aren't quite so advanced over here! but on the plus side when your trying to climb up a rocky mountain theyre great!! if not a little scary!
Did i say i was slumming it? oops! not that we have much time to spend lazing around on the roof terrace of course
Some of my 6th grade english class. Theyre my teachers pet's and are teaching me mahrati after i teach them english
this was at the village where we were worshipped in the temple for brining medical supplies and spectacles! we were ceremoniously handed a necklace of flowers and a coconut and were given the honour of praying infront of the god of our choice weeeeeiiiirrrdddd
this is the family welfare centre where i come in the mornings to load up the ambulance.....sometimes do english nightclasses for the staff
Quality pics helz!!! Sounds like ur havin a great time n most importantly doin a great job!!!! Well done u!! xxxx
yeah i chose Ganesh cause a. it sounds like gareth lol and b. because its the name of a hindu god, the god of removing obstacles...and the poor little thing is probably going to have alot of them in his life! i got invited to 2 hindu weddings today that was high in my list of things i wanted to do while in india. I was in the slums with the field workers , and i suddenly got a crowd of people wondering where i was from so i gave them a lesson on english culture, fashion and tanning! they thought i was white because i washed too much! so i explained about the lack of sun in england and then tried to explain sunbeds....i think they thought i was barmy because in their society the darker thew skin the less respect but they obviously thought it was pretty cool because i now have 62 people signed up for adult english classes instead of 12 lol....only problem was they all wanted to feed me and my mouth is burning off (our cook at home goes easy on us and gives us *white* curries)
helz it sounds like u r doing a worth while job out there.keep up the good work........i wud ask u to bring 1 back 4 me too but i don't think u'd b able to get 3 lil uns in ya ruck sack!!
