Pokhara Daze

Since arriving in Pokhara I have been having a nice relaxing holiday.  It would be easy to stay here for a long time doing pretty much nothing. My mornings are taken up with getting up late, followed by a lazy breakfast and the internet or a trip to ... Read more >

I'll have to check the calender today as I haven't been keeping track of how many days overseas its been. I'm somewhere around the halfway mark but, so I can kind of look at my travels as though I'm heading home! But really I'm just going further away ... Read more >

Well after a very long and uncomfortable flight I arrived in Kathmandu a couple of days ago. There is currently a transport strike going on here, so luckily I had a friend arrange a private car to pick me up from the airport, or it would have been quite ... Read more >

I'm struggling to do the thai fashion of smiling whilst I sit around waiting or turn up to a class only to find out that the timetable has changed, or Yim got it wrong 4 weeks ago and they only just realised why I have been coming to lessons for the ... Read more >

Time flies here! I'm almost halfway through my volunteering stint at the school and I haven't even started the ping pong competition yet! Whilst I would like to stay longer, I don't particularly like following William especially when I get called William ... Read more >

Part 1 of the Lengthy Ramble of My Despised Return to School!

Sun, 8 Jun 2008 | By counsell | Views [891] | Comments [1]

I took the bike to fix a puncture the other day, and enjoyed seeing the mechanic put the tire in water to look for air bubbles to tell where the hold was. His patience in rotating the tire to put each section in the shallow bucket, pressing gently ... Read more >

And so passes another interesting week here in the bellies of the heat of Kathmandu. I have started doing some yoga with kids in an orphanage next to the house, street children in a drop-in center, and adults males in a drug rehab center. Going ... Read more >

Well it's been 3 weeks since my last blog....oh so much to tell. Ok so from Bundi we went to Ranthambore National Park in Rajasthan. Famed for being the best place in the Indian sub-continent to see the elusive tigers due to their unnerving attitude ... Read more >
