Thooper Thursday
5.5km run in 25mins, breakfast cooked for me & the girl and some good reading time all before the start of work.
Not a bad day so far.
Oh wait, they are laying people off today.

My Expat Life
Being an Expat in India is strange. Having been a white male all my life, I’ve not had the opportunity to feel like a minority. Living in a country where there are more than 1 billion people who look nothing like you certainly changes that.

DAMN YOU INTERNET.
maizzycakes asked: I was just in Bangalore last week! Loved it. It was a nice break from Pondicherry - it's pretty traditional southern India over here. I'm here until the start of may, and then I'm planning on traveling a bit. Probably going up to Rajasthan and then Nepal. I've been trying to go places on weekends as much as possible while school's going, though. School here is......
