Sri Rama Residency Hotel Udupi

... some very interesting things about the behaviour of particular people around me...I'll just wait and see if those come true. After the astrologer we visited the krishna temple which was founded by a hindu saint. I didn't even know there were saints in hinduism. Inside the temple is a statue of krishna which emerged from a single chunk of basalt when this saint tapped it once. The temple was of traditional south Indian architecture, with statues perching all the way up the tall ...

... 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 ...

... dilemma for you!!??) Other than lying in pool of snot and sweat have been eating good food and today started new book and tried my hand at volleyball (though was knackered after 15 mins and coughing up creatures that ra away of their own accord! So Im off to try Tim again now, as was his birthday yesterday. Then try to book at least one days adventure recovered or not...... Not the most interesting blog but then not the most interesting bit of my travels so up yours!

... because it serves great food, and the guys provide great entertainment. Johnson and Savio's nephew Anizio and KG's son Royden are also a great source of fun. PHOTO_ID_R=p1010044.jpg] By day we went to Hawaii bar on the beach, where a few of the people from Rosarios go, because its a similar kind of relaxed vibe and good food and is run by the lovely Belgian-Indian couple Nadia and Vinood. We were entertained every day by some of its regulars, most of whom are ...

... Adams fat ass on the back who new you could get a motorbike sideways so many times in one day and i wish he would stop screaming like a girl in my ear. While in town we did have to bribe the cops though believe it or not. I know most people won't believe this but we where not actually doing anything wrong. Its just another Indian scam they pull you over and tell you your getting fined for all these offences and then try and take as ...

... and let go, as the customs of the toilet are different here, and one might even find that they like the Indian way better than the Western way. As it is, the Indians think that the typical western practice of **ahem** cleaning one's self by wiping with paper after a morning constitutional is disgusting and unsanitary. I kind of agree, actually, though I have gone "native' in many other ways as well. ***WARNING***THE NEXT PASSAGE CONTAINS TOILET INFORMATION WHICH SOME PEOPLE ...

... that night, for a number of reasons), had one more pain in the hand. This same night also a drunken Australian decided it would be a good idea to take a whizz on the pool table, and was also ejected with some force. A warning to Meatheads everywhere: Leave your **** at home, and don't mess around with Goan barkeepers. They will take a lot from drunken Westerners, and give you many many warnings, but when you persist in looking for trouble, they take care of it quickly ...

... that I "shot the sheriff" by buying him that last drink. . . Another night with the crew a couple of days later involved Caveman doing handstands on our table (he is quite a big man, so this was something to see), pool games with Benny Hill and myself, and a nice table for ten with a Hookah filled in the middle of it. . It was on this night that one of the English Birds got her nickname. . ."Swipe" or the "kashmiri cash station" got her dubious distinction from being one inch away ...

... danger than you are already. (which of course is a considerable amount . . ) Roconante performed beautifully, outpacing and overtaking many trucks, buses, and of course, the cars, which seem to be either speeding like hell, or crawling. No in between. The NH17 through panaji was really no problem, the highway is fairly clearly marked, and though there are these (who's grand idea was this one?!?!) huge roundabouts in the middle of the highway, which no-one who ...

... the prices up when they see you..my friends have to argue with the shopkeeps to get the prices down to something normal...but I bought pots n'pans, bedding etc...had a really good day. The vegies (wegies) here are really different, they're all tiny, tomatoes are green!! Generally all is well, really looking forward to Xmas - will prob be sending New Years presents home tho because I havent found a post office yet! Today is my only day off before Xmas - we even work on ...
