This weekend, I went to a Hill Station called Matheran (which when said in an Indian accent sounds a bit like Matalan :)). Hill Stations are effectively resorts out in the countryside, Matheran is unique in that it (blissfully) doesn’t allow cars so you get the clearest air in the area. To begin with I [...]
This weekend I spent my days doing the tourist stuff in Mumbai, on Saturday I went to Colaba, at the Southern most point of Mumbai.
The West side is called Marine Drive and is home to some of the most expensive properties in Asia (apparently). Don’t be fooled by the Blue sea, the [...]
Last night on my way home, I got stuck in the most enormous traffic jam ever, it led all the way back to my hotel! Turns out the daughter of an Indian film star was getting married, oddly enough they wouldn’t let me go out the back and mingle in the wedding.

I spent the day wandering around Andheri, there are loads of markets and stalls everywhere selling pretty much anything you can think of. Odd thing is if you walk round in a complete circle around there you end up in a different place to where you started. I got lost in minutes.

I’ve just come to the end of my first Week in Mumbai, it’s a little different in the Dry season. Haven’t managed to look around much yet but there’s plenty of time. Work’s keeping me pretty busy anyway.

Nearly got overbooked on my flight, but luckily they found me a seat. Phew.
In heathrow they put smokers in funny little pens. They look like they’re about to be sheared
I had to go to the Indian embassy today to get my Visa.
Check out the queue:
Worst part is, this was only the pre-queue queue, once I’d got through this, I got a card with a number on it which meant I could really start queueing.

SantaCon is Coming to town:
It all began when Santa met Santa, Santa and Santa’s mum in the Shakespeare’s Head in Holborn:
Santa Proceeded to the Grand Masonic Lodge of England where, surprisingly, Santa was not permitted entry, the Masons will find their stockings rather empty this year [...]
I went on the London Eye last night!
Look what I got!
It’s lovely. Plays movies, music, games, goes on the web. Looks absolutely lovely, and the battery life is loads better than I was led to expect, certainly enough to play games for 3-5 hours between recharges.
Only slight problem is that there are no interesting games out for it at all. Nor are [...]
