India

Listening to: Broken - Lifehouse
Ok so I should probably write something here about India. It was freaking awesome. Even though we didn't win a single game we played really well (and considering we were up against professional players this was no mean feat). We also had a chance to look around Kolkata which was good, visited some places like Mother Teresas tomb and orphanage and also an Indian temple to the Goddess Kali. Seeing the place made me realise just how lucky we are back home. Ie we where staying in an uber flash hotel and right outside there where people living on the pavement and we couldn't leave the hotel compound anywhere without a team of 7 armed policemen. Just crazy. Edit: I almost forgot to mention how awesome the indian people are as sports fans, i must have signed hundreds of autographs for kids during the tournament and shaken many more hands. My ego will never be the same again =P I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing With a broken heart that's still beating In the pain is there healing In your name I find meaning So I'm holdin' on, I'm still holding I'm holdin' on, I'm still holding I'm barely holdin' on to you

Way to go, John! Now....how's your study going?!
that's dumb, exempted from exams cos you're playing volleyball! whatever! are you going pro, man? like earning the big bucks, etc.?
ah man, I have always wanted to go to india, but I have always been confused about how things work there. I didnt know if it really was all poverty and people living on the street or if it was the more dramatized elephants and dancing girls and jungles. I suppose now I know.
