... fast. The local tribe was explaining about the forest and he hardly seen tiger once or twice in his experience with visitors and it was our great luck this time (yes off course i believe in luck always).

We returned back with a smile (yes we are alive) to the road which take us to home. But here comes the real terror, It was very deadly (I don’t know to express more than this). We did not realize that no other home was near by, when the sun light was there. We ...

After less than two days Hebron gave me something that will stick. I have a strong sense of myself, and what I’m doing with my life. I am acutely ambitious about it, and long ago vowed that if I can’t go to heaven or live forever then I can only live an extraordinary life. And it’s nice to know that there is a phenomenon out there that reflects who I am. It’s good to be part of the group.

Principal Noonan had scheduled an hour or so with each of the groups, and joined many, including the kids, who were seniors and members of the student council. We began by talking about some of the charity work the students undertake. Hebron supports at least three local charities, including Smyrna Home for the disabled and Freedom Firm, an anti-prostitution organization.

But then Mark left the room and I asked for the goss: What was it really like to live here, what ...

... was like sharing a bed with Linda Blair, and I did not care to be cleaning up projectile vomit or witnessing any kind of crazy head spinning ****. So on went the light and back to hell went the devil. Shook up by her temporary possession we slept that night with the lights on and were thankful of the morning sun some 7 hours later, where upon we took a taxi to the main road and waited for our bus to Mysore for our next Indian installment.

... traverser la Magnifique reserve Nationale Bandipur, pour laquelle on nous oblige a payer 50Rs en plus... et tout ca pour voir 2 biches et 1 furet ! L'arrivee a Ooty nous laisse un peu de marbre. Il y fait froid (22degre) et tres couvert. On ne s'attendait pas a trouver une station Suisse ici mais pas une ville aussi laide fichue d'un champs de course en plein milieu et d'un lac vert fluo ! Ne nous decourageant pas, nous ...

... about 60 Km past Mysor, which is the location of the famous Palace of the Maharaja (which we will visit on Sunday) is the former private game reserve of said Maharajas.  Animals that live in the park range from exotic birds, to monkeys and elephants, to the infamous and difficult to see wild tigers.  The park is 900 square Km of rolling hills and thick forest.     We had opted to stay at a place called Tusker Trails, which unlike many of the resorts around the park ...

7th January 2009 Hotel Soorya International, Mettupalayam, Tamil Nadu, India Very warm indeed Ooty - Conoor - Mettupalayam (50kms 2200 mts - 346 mts) Today was the probably the longest descent we have ever cycled. The day began with someone knocking loudly on our door at 8am, by the time we had woken up and actually opened the door they had gone, thanks very much. Despite being in my sleeping bag I woke up feeling as though I could do with another ...

... the Botanical Gardens. This is one of the few places in India where you have nice clean lawns and gardens. Even though the local were making lots of noise I found it quite peaceful. I had many groups and individuals wanting to have their photo taken with a westerner and had a few nice locals sit down for a chat. Overall I loved Ooty, but wish they can clean up their act and restore the English charm which will put it on the tourist map.

... up here but it's still manic, even at this height. We have yet to find a place in India to escape from noise and being stared at! I now think i know what it must be like to be a celeb- everyone wants to speak to you, ask your name, shake your hand- it's very lovely but quite exhausting! On the drive here from Mysore we visited a tea plantation and two national parks where we saw wild elephants. But they ...

... As we continued to talk he told me that all the people on the bus were Jains. Jainism arose in 600 BC as a result of the caste restraints in Hinduism. Its followers refrain from drinking, smoking, eating meat and wearing leather. The bus ride was truly enjoyable as we traveled towards and finally up into the momountainsia a series of switchbacks which offered a number of beautiful vantage points from which to take in the ...
