It's been a while since I've written something here, so I'm not really sure where to start.

Last weekend Maja, Mette and I went to Mamalampuram, just to get away for a little while and experience something else. Mamalampuram is about two hours away in a bus. 

We could have seen temples and gone surfing, amongst other things, but we ended up shopping a bit (?), hanging out on the beach, eating good food, going to bed early and doing some reading. The power is gone 10 hours every day, so we had to take baths in the dark with just our (head torch?) on, we had a lot of fun..
It was a very good weekend:)
The bus drive there war so nice! The bus was almost empty, all the windows were open, the wind coming from everywhere, it was the afternoon, we drove past rice fields, water and palm trees!:)

There is not a whole lot more to tell really, we are studying and having a good time in Pondi:)

Well, tuesday (6.03) i was walking to Majson Raja, it was Iben's birthday and we were going to celebrate her:) but as I walked there I saw this women running after her child, grabbed him, shook him and hit him really hard..I felt so sad for the boy, but we are in India and I can't interfere or do anything, but should i just forget it and accept it because it's another culture and I'm in a different country? There are so many things to think about, things you see that force you to think about how good we have it in our country, how lucky we are, and I think it't a good thing that we are forced to face these issues, but sometimes it's also hard..you see beggars everywhere, should i give them money? little children living on the streets..there are a lot of stray dogs here, friendly and playful during the day, but at night you really don't want to walk alone..But India is a beautiful country and i love being here, especially with all my new lovable friends:)

I'm getting more and more fond of the food in India! This is from a restaurant in Pondicherry.

This food is probably the most spicy i ever had! I was sweating and my mouth was burning, but it was so good! it is mutton (geit) and nan bread! mmm! delicious!

 Chillin', I mean studying, in one of the 'bungalows' at the study center

Today we are a bunch of people leaving for Kerala, its 3 hours in bus to Chennai and from Chennai it about 13 hours on a train to Kerala. But I'm looking forward to it! Looking at the country and the people, feeling the wind on my face!:) We are going to rent a houseboat and just chill around on the water!:) Probably going to bring some beer and cigarettes as well..

Hope you all are doing well! see you after the weekend!:)
