THANX TO ERIC (TB) FOR THE DONATION!! WERE VERY GRATEFUL!! On the 7th of march 2010 me and a friend are participating in a Challenge. W'll be driving our Rickshaw(tuktuk) all the way from Bombay (mumbai) India to Chennai India. It's a trip of around 2000km. We are driving for charity for…

Today, I met the other 2 members of my group...we are not a big group but it is nice. :)  Both seem fairly nice. I spent most of the day wandering around Bombay with the other girl on my tour (who's name I already forgot...oops...I am so terrible with names).  It was fun.  Time went…

Diwali aka Deepavali is a major Hindu festival that is very significant in Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism. Known as the “Festival of Lights,” it symbolises the victory of good over evil, and lamps are lit as a sign of celebration and hope for mankind. Celebrations focus on lights and lamps, part…

Friends and friends I have yet to meet, I need to publish a story.  It is not mine.  However, I do share its beliefs for my own reasons.  I will not speak of them here - for this is not my experience. I simply reproduce a message I received because I feel it is a story that needs…

  After three months in Windy we're off. We've travelled right the way around the country on trains, buses, taxis, tuk tuks, boats and foot ,in fact about the only form of transport left is paragliding but there's still time!!! Night buses are an odd thing, greatif you're in a couple as you s…

After yet another overnight train, I landed in Mumbai about 7 a.m. and headed for the Salvation Army hostel, serving up dorm beds for a mere 150 rupees, but just don't expect a hot shower and clean toilet.  In fact, don't ever expect that anywhere in India.  So far I've had cold showers o…

A link to my weblog where I am recording my trip to India.

I arrived, weary and tired on Monday after 27 hours on the train from Varanasi. Found a nice hotel to stay in, though it was necessary to treat myself :) Made way to the famous Leopols Cafe for lunch, saw India Gate and went shopping for new sandals, and a pedicure to go with them (well, i had bee…

Mumbay is amazing.. you wake up because of the 60.000 black and yellow taxis playing  the horn, but taxi drivers are always smiling... so it's like a noisy game and you cannot get angry. When I decided to go to India I did'n care about monsoons, but once there.. I had to. Also becau…

It's been a long time since I've been out on a range with some customers.  I have 2 purposes for doing so - marketing demonstrations and training.  Marketing demos, such as the shoot in Belize during April '08 shows how I run the range, but there is no objective other than letting potenti…

I arrived in Mumbai for a five-day orientation last Saturday night.  The airport seemed not radically different from home… until I got outside.  Swarms of people behind a metal barrier.  Thankfully the AJWS arranged for a driver to pick me up (sweet!), and I spotted him holding a…

It’s been just over a month since my last post wherein I wrote about how I landed up at TB. A lot of exciting things have happened during the past month and it’s time to update you about my dream holiday to Latin America.   Before I start, my sincere apologies to all those who see the lo…

I ask too many questions and my parents were smart enough not to get me any of those “Tell Me Why” books. They knew that for every question of mine it answered I would raise another 100! Something similar happened during the course of my Spanish lessons. After exhausting the patience of my tuto…

How long has this been going on for?  This is a question normally associated with secret affairs and spells the climax of an affair before it goes public. It happened to me too, when my secret affair with Latin America and the Spanish language was out in the open! My friends couldn’t believe…

Not seeing Angelina or Brad  Mumbai exceeded our expectations, but then we were totally convinced we'd hate the place & it'd be a filth pit like Delhi. (Sorry Delhi Lovers). We stayed 2 nights in Mubai, both in the vicinity of the Gateway To India monument, which is on the seafront. Th…
