... microphone whilst watching monkeys climb over the monkey god statues. Dan and I play with our cameras and talk about faith and life and luck until even the sun tires of us and disappears over the mountains. For the first time, this feels like the India I had in my head. The poverty and hustle and incense and **** and spices and cruelty and colours and beauty and blaggers and religion….. and the skinny cows eating rubbish. There is no ...

... ate lunch, and then went out to see some temples. Madurai is one of the oldest cities in South India and is known as Temple City, and the destination of many Hindu pilgrims. Due to its cultural significance, it is also called the Athens of the East. Personally, I felt like most of the claims of the city were a little exaggerated and it was not all that it was hyped up to be.

... trendy in Australia and that i wouldn't be in need of a magazine. We had the first few hours to ourselves as the train chugged on past small rural villages built next to the railway tracks where locals smiled, blew kisses and waved at us and we saw water wells, bathing lakes filled with lotus flowers and lillypads, rubbish littered everywhere and people lugging impossibly huge loads of produce, sticks, bricks, rocks, anything and everything on ...

... delirium had me hating being in my own prickly heat assaulted skin, sitting on this (what felt like) flea infested bed in a room that I kept imagining someone was trying to break into. I felt I'd gone through months upon months of traveling Asia with complete control over my mind, and in the past few months, culminating NOW, I felt I was completely losing it. Swallowed a pill, tried to swallow my ego, and before I knew it, was asleep.

Look it up on google or whatever, cause i couldnt really take any good pictures of it because all the intricately designed towers are covered up with palm tree leaves at the moment because of the renovation that they do there every 15 years!

Uncle came along with me and after some talking with the hotel staff I was given a room. Dropped off my stuff. had a quick ...

... for us they were in the process of being renovated so were covered in scaffolding and thatch. There were a few that we could see however and these looked amazing. The temple structures are adorned with hundreds of brightly painted intricately carved statues of all of the different gods and goddesses. There are people milling about everywhere - praying, giving blessings, socialising and taking pictures.

... were pretty amazing here - 6 large towers ornatley decorated and very colourful - i found a picture on the internet so I have added it to the entry I think?? Once I am in Singapore I am going to attempt to upload some more of my photos so you can see where I've been! I am waiting for an overnight train at the moment, it is going to take me to the beach!!!
