- Raj picked us up for a meeting with Anita, another youth worker at VBS, taking the younger teen’s group.
- Went to office and was restless
- Walked from the office to my house. Took about an hour and was scorching hot! There are so many shops ev
erywhere, mainly general stores, garages for bikes and chemists. But instead of big walk in shops like we have in the UK, the shops here are all the size of a single garage and you just walk up the front and ask for what you want.
- I also went to MG road to exchange some money and take a look around. Some guy tried to sell me some drums for about 10 minutes, following me up the street. I said ‘No, thanks’ about 50 times.
- On my way home I got asked for money a lot.
- In the evening I met two English girls who have set up a fair trade business that helps local villages. I would like to learn more about this. They seem like really nice girls and I got on with them straight away. They’ve been out here for some years on and off, working and setting up contacts through working with the Oasis trust. Christian girls. I think Jojo likes me, but then again, I am full of myself so who knows?!? They’ve invited me around to their new place for a swim, a go on the Wii and for some Chateauxneuff du Pape. VERY NICE!
- Raj is still always concerned how I’m doing, it’s good I suppose, but his over concern annoys me a bit. I suppose
that’s the way he is. He is a good man and deserves/needs a good women to rein him in. Well, not rein him in, just house train him a bit more. He needs someone who will put up with him but someone who will love him as much as he would love her. I suppose that’s what we’re all looking for isn’t it?
- I’ve found the auto-rickshaws aren’t too bad as long as you don’t let yourself be intimidated. Always ask for the meter and make sure it starts at 14 rupee instead of 40 as the one I first got on started at. Thieving, cheating GITS!!
