Humanity has been here a long time.<br><br>There was Srirangapattana, an ancient town that from the highway betrayed little of it&#8217;s momentous historical significant.

... br> <br>13 April 2009 - The Final Countdown <br> <br>This week the Alpha Groups are finishing off their respective projects and planning for a series of inauguration ceremonies. The cohort will return to Field base on Friday for a series of activities called "wash-up", which is set to include a fashion parade, photograph exhibition, a party, endless games, and no doubt some tearful farewells as the venturers prepare for life after Raleigh. <br> <br>I have been busy ...
