... group rejected and wanted to use some of the school ground as a flowered area!!! Which is now taking shape, looking good and planting is under way.<br>The group was also asked to move a mountain of 50kg sacks of cement, so in true union style we said ' Eh, No'.

... the afternoon arranging my trekking trip for the rest of my stay here. But it seems to be a really vibrant place, and I'm looking forward to exploring more tomorrow.<br><br>So far, travel has been relatively smooth. Only one minor incident - a bottle of 100% DEET that exploded inside my toiletries bag.

Most notably a big obstacle called Myanmar (Burma), where the restrictions imposed by the 47 year old military dictatorship prevent anyone making the simple journey across to south east Asia from India or Bangladesh by land. This along ...

... into them too long, I'd be taken to a place and time I'd never want to return from. <br><br>I sat in a plastic lawn char facing him, for one second hoping that the liquid on it was rain, not urine. I sat anyway, risking it. Thankfully it was the former. He put out his soft wrinkled hand and I took it. I finished one hand as he sat silently. Each time I looked up, he looked grateful and kind. Periodically along the way, he thoughtfully wiped my apron. I ...

We knew it was going to be difficult but were ready to surrender to the experience and spend the whole time working hard. The process for the Dharmashringa Centre was to register in a city office then catch a bus up to the site.
