Mallika Hotel Udupi

... 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 ...

... be turned around, he needs to offer 4800 R's to the Gods. Now, call me a synic, but really? I've been starting to buy this spiritual stuff that almost everyone seems to into in this country, but paying the Gods nearly 60 quid? I don't think so. Astrology and religion here are fairly deeply entwined, but he guy got a little bad tempered when told thatt he reason we were not going to do this was because we didn't believe. The astrology ...

... man är påväg och sedan pekar någon mot rätt buss. Varje buss har sedan en egen infösare som skriker ut vart bussen är påväg.T.ex. "Udupi-udupi-udupi-udupi". Sedan har dom en visselpipa dom blåser i och man tror att bussen är påväg just NU, men då man väl satt sig (om det finns plats), kan det upp till 10 minuter innan bussen åker. Busstrafiken här är helt privat och varje bussinfösare försöker helt enkelt få så många som möjligt att åka med sin buss. Systemet är inte helt olikt ...

... Allting går i betydligt långsammare takt än jag är van vid, vilket är riktigt skönt. Mitt "arbetsrum" är en dator i ett av universitets lab. Den har inte kontakt till nätet, så en hel del saker blir mycket svåra (sen är facebook spärrat på de datorer som sen har nätkontakt), dessutom är det nu som då lektioner där och då kan man inte vara där. Ibland är det föreläsningar också så då kan man höra med ett öra på då någon professor har diktamen åt ...

What an insult eh??? 'you sack of wine!' ? .... Well thats the best that Achilles had for a goading Agamemnon Anton, my Swedish compadre, and I noted as we laughed our heads off during a rewatch of Troy. This has since become somewhat of a popular and little effective offensive term, in our bubble at least. Well after Id just wriiten the last blog, thinking how it would be nice to have some decent company and went to phone the birthday brother ...

... HE was the scummy sleazeball who would not leave me be, he was the most disrespecful sleazy man I have ever met. And this is the very thing he was so vehemently condemning, this immorality, this having more than 1 sexual partner in a lifetime, this going on dates before marriage, this drinking alcohol. At each improper stage I politely declined but he would not let it go. So surely I am the moral one and he is the immoral one here, but his very argument was ...

... north to Anjuna, where we found a wicked little hotel called the 'white negro' Where we based ourselves for the next week. It was pretty much on the beach and the rooms had sat TV so we were sold straight away! After dumping our bags and checking out the beach, which also had cows and rabid dogs on it (of course), we got down to the important business of getting our motorbikes sorted out... 'Sami' the local moto/pot dealer, sorted us out and ...

... even after I drew a picture of the tool I needed. Through the few english words she knew and some sign language, she told me to come back in the evening, and when I checked in then, same story. . "airport" she pointed off in the distance. . "taxi, you come morning," and so this went on for a couple of days. Finally this morning, I saw a Westerner with a loaded Enfield come out of the spare room that they rent out on the side of the house, and with some relief, I ...

... to be a favourite past-time. Am looking forward to when we get mopeds for the day....??Dad, you really would love the way they drive here!! The beach here is full of palm trees, looks like something on a postcard apart from all the cows lazing and grazing on it! We have got beach huts on the beach with a bathroom, they are on stilts and surrounded by palm trees and 10yds from the beach, they only cost 1pound 50p which is amazing. We ...

... to. On the way to work this morning, Ash slowed the bike so that I could touch an elephant on the way past...very lucky! I have seen lots of monkeys playing in the trees, I live pretty much in the country. Its quite touristy, but still in the sticks. I went to Mapusa yesterday to buy some new work clothes - this little town seemed like a city after being in the countryside for so long! I move ...
