... beach!  I wont forget that moment in a hurry!<br><br>We stayed at the Promenade in Pondi which is a lovely little boutique hotel, facing the ocean.  I took a walk down the promenade and came across a lovely cafe facing the sea with great jazz music being played.My thoughts were "it just gets better"!<br><br>Pondi is a great place to just walk around, the streets are very clean, the weather is great and its full of lovely churches ...

... world. It was great. I keep thinking the what-ifs, if I decided to stay an extra semester (without taking classes). I don&#8217;t think I could let myself actually go through with it although I&#8217;ve been thinking about it a lot lately. Maybe after I graduate?<br><br>As for school exams are about a month away. It&#8217;s all going too fast. This weekend all of the Americans are going to Bangalore and Mysore for a few days. The trip was ...

Last night I went to an engagement party for our "go-to" lady here on campus, Priya. It was called a party but it was much more like a ceremony. It was in Villapuram, which is a small town just over an hour away by bus. When we first got there we were ushered to the front row and were insisted to sit there. Priya is Hindu and is having a traditional Hindu arranged marriage. Her parents began looking for a suitable husband for ...

... 8217;s only rained twice since I&#8217;ve been here. Each time it was an hour at most so everything is pretty dry.<br><br>This is going to be a short week of classes. This Saturday, the 15th, is India&#8217;s Independence Day so classes are cancelled on Friday. I&#8217;m traveling with two others to Hyderabad for a long weekend so I&#8217;m looking forward to that.<br><br>I attached a few photos from the weekend.<br><br>Cheers!

There are also pictures below in the picture link below.<br><br>By the time we got to Pondicherry, we only had enough energy to see the SAHMP(Sri Aurobindo Handmade Paper) paper factory. We walked around some, then went to the beach where Tyler met a monkey friend that did tricks ...

... original Auroville concept of peace and harmony. People say it is an example of what Auroville was like 'back in the day', in the 60's when dirty hippies were working the earth. The green belt area will eventually be a zone for organic farms, dairies, orchards, forests, and wildlife areas, this belt will act as a barrier against urban encroachment, provide a variety of habitats for wildlife, and serve as a source for food, timber, medicines and as a place for ...

... out it has a relaxed atmosphere and although there is little to actually do this improves the feel of relaxation. Unfortunately budget accomodarion is hard to find although there are a few good places around if you look, we spent our first few nights in a mid priced hotel. Good news was it had a TV which meant we watched a couple of films including 'Accross the Universe' a Beatles musical. While eating a few pastries ...

... But sometimes it's closed." We didn't really know of anything we wanted to see in Chennai, so after breakfast (with soft jazz) we took a hired car and driver for a long drive to the French Colonial city of Pondicherry. Our Delhi friend Punita said it's nice to drive down there, see what's left of the French architecture, and have a nice Indo-French lunch. I had been told it was a 2.5 hour drive, but it started to pour rain, so our drive took more than ...

Na het ontbijt gaan de kinderen in hun uniform naar school. Veel oudere meisjes studeerden muziek aan de Music College. Muziek is erg belangrijk in de Trust, Brigitte en Ivar uit Nederland leren de kinderen van jongs af aan gitaar, mandoline, keyboard of accordeon te ...

No of course not, but it is definitely workable and with this many hazards, it makes sense to keep people on their toes at all times.
