welll iv been here only 2 days already and already the pollution is overwhleming it smells and its hot and its dirty but hey thats india for you! the begging isnt as bad as ithought it would be, its actually worse in toher places like Vietnam butt the heckling in markets and bazars is crazy and so your like f*** off i dont want your s*** and then they go away (thats wahts going through my head but you say nahin which means no and then they go away) umm iv already been ripped off and bought faulty products but hey thats what you get i spose. i thought india was like mobile phone central but no its got riduclous prices for phones like $70 for a BASIC black and white phone and there all gayand dont bargain. but everything else is cheap. today i boght a sawaar kameze (sorta like a sari but a lpong top and pants and scarf) and then two tops. i was going to send people tops for their birthdays cos there really cheap and really cool but dont count on it cos everything gets nicked iin the mail. so no bangles either im afraid..

i hvnt got sick yet but iv got a rank cold and a really sore throat n no cold and flu tablets so im partially dying but thats ok. ummm what else i will get a mobile fone number on tuesday wheni get to naggar but for now i only have internet.

umm we get lots of stares here and lots of dirty looks ffrom old men but no marriage proposals yet but im stilll hoping!!
we learnyt basic tibetan today and its the firggin hardest language to read. its ok to speak its quite simple but to actually read the words off paper and pronounce them is impossible. i think we get to meet the dalai lhama next week or thats what weve been told cos hes doing his teachings in dharmsala for the next week. so i reckon ill be enlightened and im pretty much desitned to be the 15h dalai lahma. thers a few simple test you have to do but hay its pretty much as easy as me getting 99.95 in teh tee.

im as yet to get aids tessa or pregnancy cos me and celia are sleepign together but in seperate beds if that makes sense but i bet i get some rank diease from eating roadside food which i know your not meant to do but we were hungry and it looked good and it tasted good so hay well see what the affects are in a few days.

well thats all for now folks but we have another hindi lesson tom and a picnic in the lotus gardens and a tour of delhi. and omg i so want a pet monkey. they come right up to where we have breakfastand they have big red asses and its so awesome i know they have rabies but hay you win some you lose some

love you all and sorta missyou actuallly i lie i dont yet cos its only been 3 days! lol
