Georgia Sunshine Village Mysore

... because church was just getting out. Afterwards we went back to the Mysore Palace and toured that for a few hours. Our tour guide really knows his stuff. The palace is still partially occupied by the royal family so we weren't able to see all of it. It was beautiful and apparently it has more visitors than the Taj Mahal. <br><br>After the palace we went to a small art gallery and then had lunch. We had a few hours to spare after lunch ...

Kokkere Bellur Pelican breeding site<br><br>We decided to detour via Kokkere Bellur [Kokrebellur] village &#8211; reportedly one of the five major pelican breeding sites in the world. Taking the signposted rural road shortly after Maddur we traversed the depleted Thyllur Lake. <br><br>Painted storks were flying around in formation. The road condition deteriorated badly after a while with no signs of Kokrebellur village in the near distance. After what seemed ...

... cus it's a long weekend. Mysore was amazing.We, me and Jo, found it nice to get out of Bangalore, cus, as nice as it is, it is a very big city and quite metropolisy (?). Mysore was more along the lines of my initial images of India. Ended up taking about 200+ photos. Thought people would give me funny looks with my big camera around my neck but they loved it. Had kids (and some adults) come running asking for me to take photos of them. I would ask someone if i could take a photo ...

... really. Just accept that if a white women decides to get on a predominantly male Indian train then this is the deal. So ipod plugged in, eyes averted and accept it all.... We got off at Hubli with no backward glance to the train to find out where our Mysore headed train was going from. Enter the Tibetan Monks. I might have seen a real one in the UK before but I can't be sure. Pictures of the Dalai Lama spring into my head when a bespectacled monk comes up to me and says that ...

... musical instruments as buzzers! <br> <br>Our host country venturers Akhil, Parthi, Samith, Sreejith, Mukesh, Mani, Guna and Mubarak proved popular by helping out with the India section, particular when it came to cricket details. They were also stars on the volleyball court when an impromptu game started up during a break between rucksack packing and phonetic alphabet training. For the rest of us, the first few days were a little overwhelming as we got to know each ...

... of animals will hang out together, and give each other warnings when tigers or cheetahs are near.  Pretty cool.      I was starting to space out when all of a sudden I looked about a hundred meters ahead of the jeep and saw it.  A tiger was walking out of the brush and right across the road.  Unable to believe it, I started snapping photos as fast as I could.  The tiger walked to the road, then turned up and followed the road for about a minute, and then ...

... and I on the other hand went off for a very nice dinner in the Park Lane Hotel surrounded by a whole load of Westerners.... so I permitted myself to eat my curry with my left hand as no Indians were really there to watch and be offended! The drumming in the temples went on all night for Shivaratri and that along with a mozzie which decided to have a snack on my back, I got up in a ratty mood. I made up for this with a lovely breakfast of Pongal which is a mushy rice ...

Hier, j'ai vu la 3eme personne se faire mal depuis mon arrivee, arrete pendant 3 mois! je remarque que dans chaque cas, ce sont des gens qui ne pratiquent pas regulierement pendant l'annee et qui arrivent ici et en font trop,ils veulent realiser des postures complexes tout de suite, ca c'est l'ego...ils sont tellement determines, je pense que, trop de determination tue l'objet de determination. J'ai la chance de ...

The last time i was in india, i remember getting foot massages and head massages for the price of a Latte back home. this time around a head/foot massage isn't going to do the trick. i needed more. i feel that it's important to work hard in life, but it's also important to reward that hard work. i've just run out of those talking apple stickers that prod me with encouragement such as "Terrific!" and "You did it!" so instead to reward myself for completing my first full week at the ...
