They have free internet here. Thousands of shops. Products. Multi-national corporate brands. Free X-Box 360. It feels like a dream. Vietnam later today. Ho Chih Minh City. The adventure continues: part 2; South East Asia. Sweet.
Time passes as time does. This is it’s most fundamental characteristic, I’ve found. Thus, of course, prompting the human to take a quick dip in the passing river of time and to swim briefly backwards through the waters of the past, in orrder to take full stock of the present. Presently I am in Kolkatta. [...]
Two nights ago we left Rishikesh, the Western Enclave where Hippies Go to Die in India, with it’s white Gurus and it’s white Disciples, and it’s yoga and ayuverdic massages and Ganges river vibe. One trains out from Haridwar, which is the Indian version of Rishikesh, and we were taking an overnighter at 9:40 pm, [...]
Varanassi – tick. Ganges, holy place, bodies being burnt on the river side. Corpses splitting open cooked innards. Alleys full of poo and people. Sam gets sick. 26 hours by train to Rishikesh. Nice mountain town. The Ganges flows here too and is fat and wide. Yoga. Ashrams that look like fairy tale castles rising [...]
Once again, after re-reading my blog once it’s been posted, I am horrified to note all the grammar, tense, and spelling errors. However even though I am apologetic, I am also too lazy to fix them. But I am aware of them. I balance on the knife’s edge.

Below our hostel is a coffee shop called Coffee Day, which we think might be the Starbucks of India. At Coffee Day [...]
The next bit of linear action worth mentioning is the crazy adrenalin rush of sitting in the front and watching how an Indian bus driver drives. After a few more days at Om, we decided against going to the Trance Party. The real plus was that a friend of mine lied about being a DJ [...]
So several things have happened since New Years, but out of respect for the linear nature of the universe, I’ll begin with the first event of noteworthy proportion, which was New Years, and how Sam killed the hippy vibe. There were two options available to us on Om Beach. The first was to go over [...]
Day 1: Giant spiders that I have to get rid of. Sam nearly has heart attack. Day 2: Big frog and a dog living under the bed. Day 3 (morning): Dog fight in our shack. 7 am. Day 3 (afternoon): Move into new room. Still on Om beach, we’ll be here at least until New [...]
After departing Hampi we travelled to the southernmost beach in Goa, known as Palolem, which was dreadfully boring. Well not really, but Sam was starting to read all the time, and I was starting to walk from one end of the beach to the other, up and down up and down, until I slipped on [...]
