Off to India yet again.
It all changes again just over 3 more golden months of my self. The last 3 have felt like an eternity, the grind of a mac screen kills me! The harsh reality for me has not been the issue of fitting into society again.. It's been the revers locked up in a cupboard. I don't know how I'm going to keep my head down when this fat lady has sung. My dream of launching my self into africa has felt so far away. But my pupils are still locked not caring how HARD it might be or the fear everyone else has of Africa.
It's like I've lost the wind in my sails the feeling I've got looking at the plane I imaging on the tarmac ready to carry me to India. There are some small gust that seem to carry me through the day. I'm a real bad friend only popped into a few of them a week ago. Most have babies now, they all speak about it being the best thing ever. I just see a mountain of debt and a crying screaming mouth that's constantly starving. Some how my imaginary wallet can't feed the poor things. The one thing I'm really envious of though is a place all their own they call home. My dream one would be a 3 kg bag and a income that's dependable and fun to do when taking a break from to many new faces.
So what's planed u ask? Well not much :) I love that. I'm in Mumbai on the 22nd, a familiar character you may recall from my rambling blog, Claudia will be joining me the on the 24th. Where to after that, I'm guessing north?! The Visa was a bitch to get this time, now one needs proof of accommodation. Like the Europe system, so anti foot loose, but Bhaskar helped me out writing a letter saying I'd be staying by him. They seemed to like that and issued me a visa but it's got a stamp of "2 month gap required before reentry to India" so looks like Bangladesh and Nepal may be out... But hey anything is possible in India.
I don't plan to be writing here every other day as I did before. Maybe a couple of summaries.. And tweet every chance I get www.Twitter.com/LathanBritz
What's in my bag this time?
Basics
5 pairs of undies, 5 socks, 1 super slim fancy towel from due south (standard ones take up to much room), 3 shirts, 2 shorts, a pair of jeans, a tooth brush and some paste.
Luxuries
Packet of meds for the tummy, iPhone and charger (thanks again pops), a 5D Mark II camera, few saffer ciggies, credit card portable hard drive for back ups, wallet and sticker book.
Something missing? No use the bum gun m8. So that brings me to 6 kgs that camera is nearly 2 on it's own. It's carry on and means no waiting for baggage. And will never look like a retard carrying this massive bag down the road or on the back of a bike.
What's playing on the iPod? Block Party - Intimacy! It even brings back the taste of asphalt to my lips.
What has every body been up to? I've not seen all the old faces.. Always awesome to hear how you wish you could just go... So don't be shy and say hi.
Oh and go GERMANY for all those doing the fottie... I'd support the Swedish girls team but I have not seen them playing. Gonna miss waking up to the vuvavellas.
