woollooo

I’ve moved to another hotel for another four nights. It’s called ‘Young Womens Christian Association’ hotel, it is next door to Travelodge but about $60 a night cheaper (although I have to share the bathroom). It is a bit of a come down from the hotel in India

Australia Year Out Featured

I’ve found a flat at last, I was getting concered I would have to live with 35 year olds as that is all I seemed to be finding. The flat I’ve found is with some young people who seem cool, moving in on Tuesday. It is in a

Australia Year Out

Taken the Red Pill

I have arrived in Sydney. What an excellent city. It’s so clean, the streets are a lot like America and the traffic lights make funny noises, brilliant! I do feel like I am living in the Matrix (sad I know) though as most of this city features in that

Thunder and lighting very exciting

A big thunderstorm last night! This filmed looking over the airport from the hotel window – More later.

Dust!

I’ve never seen anything like this before! It’s very windy outside and its no longer in 100’s of degrees of farenheit. This is the normal view from the 14th floor – And this is what it looked like a minute ago – It feels like a desert just landed

Finally King of Google

It has taken 4 years, but finally, I have made it to the number one spot at Google. This is a defining moment. No longer am I ‘that other Gary Brewer’ but I am now more high ranked than this Gary Brewer. The bluegrass artist from Kentucky. A screenshot just

Gulab Jamun

Gulab Jamun are probably the tastiest things ever! Here’s a link to their recipe. There are little balls of sponge soaked in warm sugar syrup, they are absolutely delicious. Next time you are at the Indian restaurant ask to try a Gulab Jamun or one of its variations for

I put my swimming trunks on about 4 hours ago, I’m still sitting here because I found this DeviantArt.com it is brilliant! Loads of people submitting photos, poetry etc… a great site. I might even pay for a subscription it’s that good! My page at DeviantArt.

There's only so much..

…you can do… on a Wednesday night…in a hotel…in India…that does not have a bowling alley…. Firstly it is of the Taj Mahal. You are not really supposed to make videos of it so I kept it short and sweet. As for the rest of the video…

What sort of dog is that?

Mr Rajinda arrived at 6am to take us to Agra. It was strange to see so many people around this early in the morning. The park opposite IIT was full of people playing cricket. 06h30 is probably the best time of the day actually, its reminded me of a cool

Hot Zoup Review

The Hot Zoup application that I created for RSS/ATOM aggregation got a review by a guy called “Heinz Tschabitscher” at About.Com, who is obsessed with email by the looks of his bios. It got 3/5 stars which is not bad for a first try. Heinz write (sic)

Softly Softly Catchy Monkey

The difference between a cappuccino and a latte in the UK, from what I could work out, is that cappuccino had chocolate on top and latte didn’t. In India, the difference between a cappuccino and a latte is the size of the cup you get the coffee in! I

One more immodium tablet...

Well I finally had to crack open the Immodium packet today, and I was doing so well I thought. Looks like its not possible to come here and not get ill. I will probably become used to the food at the end of the four weeks and then have to

that tastes surprisingly spicey

I woke up this morning thinking about how I could get Mr Saruj off the roads, but seeing how Nitin told me he “bought” his driving licence without ever having stepped foot in the driving seat of a car, I stopped thinking about it. So here I am. On the

Death Wish Taxi and Wash Your Hands

This cannot be topped. This is probably the most scarey journey I have ever been in. Mr Saruj, the driver, looked about sixteen years old and did not speak a word of english, he also had a habit of opening his door at 80km/h and spitting onto the road.

24 hours notice for a night of going out obviously wasn’t enough for some people. However, Dino and Gino both managed to make it down for a night of drinking. First we went to Bar and Kitchen in Hoxton Square and then onto Plastic People. Plastic People was very

Lets lower the tone

I have a cold at the moment. I didn’t think it was possible for me to get a cold as I ensure that I take at least 200/400mg of Vitamin C every day during the winter. The good news is I think its clearing. Going out at the

World Snooker - A reply

You may remember this post about the attire of players at snooker matches – a reply has been received, straight from the top of the professional snooker body (well almost). Here is the letter sent to me by Matt (thanks). I love the address ‘The Royal Borough of Kensington’, I am
