I’ve just sat down in an internet cafe along some dark alleyway in Varanassi, I was already feeling a little chirpier, and now, reading some online comments, I’m over the cheese moon.

A bit of Bollywood

Hi, Only me, from India. I crossed this morning from Nepal and am now in some town, staying at some place that reports to be awanky but in fact is rather not. But all’s good. Been a bit of a wacky wave since I landed in Kathmandu. I stayed there for a few days, then [...]
