London update

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

Hello my lovelies,

So most of you know that I made it back safe and sound in good old London town, It has been a busy week indeed. I have succeeded in participating in a fantastic party this past weekend at Ninja Adams house, reunited with many old friends, met some lovely new friends too, started training for my new route at my old job delievering sandwiches AND, yes And folks secured a new place to live, a little place I can call my own. I even have a white picket fence.

I can’t believe it was me laying on a beach in Goa a little more than a week ago, indeed I have jumped right back into the swing of things, getting involved with Nowhere, looking for a new pottery studio, and volunteering as a costumed bartender at my friend’s performance next weekend.

I feel busy, involved and loved here in London, Actually Like I could forgive this city for its terrible weather. So for the next few months this blog won’t so much be about me travelling long distances, but about a little insight into my life here, and a beautiful life it is..

I will be posting my India photos soon, keep an eye out for the next post,

until next time
**hugs**

On the topic of memories and departures

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

Back to London.

I have written and rewritten this silly entry almost five times, nothing I want to say is coming out easily in words, but I must before the last six months fade away as I touch down into another reality and I am consumed (by our mad western ways) once again, hopefully I will not forget the lessons I have learned on this ramble.. The people I have met, the growth that has occured. The question of why I ended up in these parts and colided with others on the same path.

Oh indeed time to ponder these things out.

The epic stiuatons, adventures and cultivation of new ideas,

see random list of memories:::

Rani Ghat trek in Tansen
Foraging with the local women in Palpa
Koras in Tibet
Crossing the Himalaya
Ram daiis place in Kathmandu
smoky Yak chip teahouses in Tibet
seeing the Ganga cystal blue in Rishekesh
Train rides in Inida
The backalleys of Varanasi
The ardh Mela (YAY ninga adam and drunken nurse!)
Sunsets on the volcanic mountains in gorkana
learning to drive a motorbike
meeting giant Kiwis

See little poem about mumbai::

Colonial Decay
in gothic trainstations
the Massive cathedrals and Mosques
share the skyline
bright saris
counteract
the grime
choking and congested in the roundabouts
8 deep
uncannily like london
Highrises next to corrugated iron shacks
The masses
co- existing
in this chaotic harmony

Thank you India, Nepal and Tibet….. Bye bye for now

Hello UK>
