Christmas

Long time no see. I am alive, the e-coli was not fun but pretty quickly over. The course have ended, I have left Udaipur, and I have been spending time with my friend the beach.

The last weeks of the stay in Udaipur was hectic and slightly crazy, and even if we missed exams back home, we got our fair share of stress with writing final reports and making final presentations. In the end it all went well, like it normally does, and we had some great last nights with other volunteers and people we know. My marvelous father came down two days before i left, and was literally just in time for my presentation. Left for Mumbai, with sitting seats in a bus, this went fine, and we met up with the brits from Seva there. Had some fun days as tourists again, saw the absolutely amazing thiefs market, less amazing meatmarket, and bought old bollywood posters bigger than I am. Also 'starred' in a Bollywood to come, with some of the biggest bollywoodstars, Kareena Kapoor and Shahrukh Khan. Look out for RA ONE, coming out in 7 months, starring Dad and I as festive dancing people in a london club in the final song, 'ta ta'. Left for Goa on train a couple of days later, got bumped up, so we had blankets and pillows, and ac! Fun and comfy. Said bye to brits again and left for anjuna beach after some quick consultation with travelbooks, and had some really nice days there, and spending a day on an Royal Enfield, driving around trying to find anything else than beaches that would be interesting. Since Christmas eve we have been with the brits, just south of goa, where there is almost no tourists, and a very laid back atmosphere. We have had some great days here, introducing the brits to aquevit and trying to celebrate christmas, even if we do spend half the day in the sun or water on the beach, and spent christmas eve eating barbecued fish and sitting around a bonfire. Dad and I will stay here until I leave, he'll go south, and ill start on my hometrip.

I'll do some photoes when i have time, but this just might be the last post from India, see YOU soon.

P.S. Merry Christmas & a Happ New Year!
