Hotel Abhiman Residency Mangalore

... have been unhappy at work for a year and a half. My employers didn't listen to me and there was a lot of tension. Only one person at work was supportive and listened. Yes, and that'll be Anita then (thanks Anita). Worryingly he did ask if I'd had an accident recently, and when I said no, he had this 'oh, that bit hasn't happened yet' look on his face before telling me to be careful around water. Another shocker is that Paul and I will have 3 children. This is not the first person to ...

... aforementioned thalis. We had one last night, and it is the best so far. Of course, being in the South, its spicier, and also eating with your hands is mandatory - I'm sure I could have cutlery if I asked, but I'm not bad at it, and it seems to cause less of a scene by joining in as everyone else does. Yesterday we went to see the temple, where they have an elephant outside giving out blessings instead of a priest, quite a funny ...

... these defects. However, you will need to be very persuasive to get the driver to give it up to you! Our seats each benefited from about 3 of the aforementioned 'special features', so we were very relieved to get to Mangalore. From there a rickshaw dropped us at the station so we could queue for an hour in the 30 degree heat for train tickets to Cochin that night which, fortunately, we secured. We then spent a pleasant couple of hours in Tagore Park reading ...

... a bus down to Palolem... So here we are, staying in a beach hut on stilts, sleeping under a mosquito net, re-united with old friends we met on the trek and awaiting new friends who will arrive from Delhi, eating fresh fruit and enjoying the sun...a few days of getting rejuvenated will serve us right. We can practically feel the grit and grime of the cities being purified out of our bodies with the clean air and water of the beach. Off to enjoy a Mai Tai and fresh grilled shrimp! Life is Good

... it's own little problems, before leaving, one has to gear up mentally for it before coming up with a deadline and sticking to it. This is the trap of Goa. You have been warned. You might say to yourself: "well, that wouldn't happen to me," and I promise I won't say I told you so when you end up staying in Goa a month when you intended fully to stay only a couple of days. Life is that good here. The end of season Madness is becoming eviden, however. People are acting a ...

... in India seems to know how to handle. There is no yield to traffic in the roundabout, there is no yield to through traffic, there is no. . well, generally there is no yield at all. The roundabouts are a sort of driving free-for-all, and if one is on a motorcycle it is perhaps best to position yourself on the side of a car or maruti van as you enter, so at least that way you know they will get creamed first. Do not use a truck or a bus for the same purpose, or you ...
