The Tumdla Train Station

INDIA | Wednesday, 20 May 2009 | Views [1026]

Never heard of this place? that makes three of us; you, me and God.  Now, we all know God is a busy, perhaps anthropomorphic entity, perhaps nebuluous shaped diety, who takes its time in returning messages and, of course,rarely picks up when you really ... Read more >


Taj Mahal Painted Pink

INDIA | Tuesday, 19 May 2009 | Views [1427] | Comments [4]

The Taj Mahal is a monument I did not even try to conjure up how would look in person. Similar to before I saw Machu Picchu, I knew what to expect but I also did not. You never know how a monumental piece from history will deliver in peron; on a visual ... Read more >

Eleven days into my journey and I've just started to comit something to writing.  Finding time is somewhat the issue, but finding energy is the primary matter.  There is so much calling one's attention, so many smells, sounds, and sights that it is ... Read more >

So, the letters below that we sent to our respective banking and credit institutions, will mostly outline the scam and what we went through.  rather than type everything out again, i figured the letters would suffice and save me some time.  The scam, ... Read more >


Dalai Lama and some momos on the side

INDIA | Thursday, 14 May 2009 | Views [509]

Long last, arriving in Dharamsala felt sooooo good. After twisty turny roads up and down and all around through the mountains just standing stationary felt excellent. Immediately upon pulling up to our hotel we ran into the other Irish kids who also ... Read more >


Escape From Kashmir

INDIA | Wednesday, 13 May 2009 | Views [514]

It went as follows: Lucy, knocking once, twice (short grumble), three times finally rouses me enough so that I can respond. "Okay. thank you. I'm up." MY head collapses back into my pillow. 'The silk sleep sheets we purchased were great buys,' ... Read more >

INDIA | Sunday, 10 May 2009 | Views [566] | Comments [1]

A shower. A nap. A map. A bite. At our quick breakfast nosh (as Alex likes to call a small bite) we met two Parisians; two girls that spoke English well and had been in India for 1 month already. A plan was drafted: we would meet later for dinner or to ... Read more >

The flight over from JFK went smoothly and Etihad turned out to be excellent, not some rando no-name airline. The flight attendants were gorgeous. They wore great form fitting suits, little red leather gloves, head coverings, and perfectly applied red ... Read more >
