The boatyard has an old computer with a 56k modem! And, i must say, i feel sorry for all you with it! India is fabulous, a real pick 'n' mix of colour, building shape and materials, and is a complete texture heaven for the mod i am in (TVW) being semi tropical (damn the lack of digi-cam). My brither and I seem to be the only white people in the area (cochin, karela, south india) and recieve stares, waves, and barrages of children saying "Hihi! Hi! Hello! How are you! Hihi!" and as long as we respond (they dont understand what we say) they are happy. The food is curry for breakfast, curry for lunch, and curry for dinner. Needless to say, even on my fourth day i am already fed up of the stuff. The water is horrible! Keep some tapwater in a rubber welly outside for a week, and you will have an aproximation of the taste! All the Indians are really nice: energetic, friendly and keen to help. but with thier grasp of english holding a real comprehensive conversation is impossible, as you are forced to re-say everything many times...
Anyway, i think this post would have done M&M proud in length (must be a 56k thing
and i will attempt to get some decent pictures with me old camera! The temptation to keep snapping shots of walls and floors is driving me crazy
(ive only got another 5 rolls of film left
)
Anyways, only 23 days to go
Must go take photos!
