    So no posting for two weeks. Just telling you guys in the unlikely event that any of you wonder why im not posting or on xbox live over the festive season. I would take my xbox to the land of the rising holly shit but I fear the weight may cause damage to Air Craplackistans planes.

    MERRY XMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL.

    Have a good one and don't let anybody hurt you over there.

    I rather hurt you myself online during Halo 2.

    Should be able to make that fish. Haven't annoyed you for ages!

    As for where im going, Gujarat, north west state on the border with craplackistan.2. Nothing interesting to see there, its where Gandhi was born and errrrrm thats about it. Unless your interested in visiting thousands of factories.

    Its also the only dry state in India, meaning you need a freaking permit to buy alcohol. I have no idea why, probably cause its the only place in India where I visit with any frequency. Bastards :) All in all a boring part of India unless your a multinational...they seem to love the boringness.

    I advise on Maharastra(Bombay/Mumbai's state), Agra(for the Taj mahal), Punjab (Golden temple, saw it on TV) and south India. In other words I've only been around the north of the country, so by the time you come back you'll know more of the crap hole than I do.

    Punjab mate if you want a booze up ;) First shop you see when you drive into the state is a McDowells whisky house. The lagers funny Charger 5000 Alc % between 8-10% - even the manufacturers don;t know how strong it is so they put a ballpark 8-10%.

    Anyway mate have a goodun!! There are so many amazing places to visit in India. What annoys me is that all the new stuff is shite and tacky. But the old building and stuff are mindblowing.

    My advise to anyone travelling to India without being used to being in India:

    When you get into your hotel, but a toilet roll into a plastic bag, then put the bad into the fridge in your room...

    When you get the squits (and you will), you'll thank me so loudly, I'll hear you all the way back in old blighty...

    I meant put the bag (not bad - sorry) with the toilet roll into the fridge...

    LOL... What *was* I thinking???? Haw Haw...

    You'll appreciate the cold sheets on your Japanese flag when your food rapidly turns south... Trust me...

    [Also works with wet wipes, the colder the better...]

    Alternatively dont drink water for the duration of your stay :)


    No, seriously it is the water that does it. Even after you boil India's water for some reason you still get the shits from it! Damn locals are imune to whatever it is.

    Just drink bottled water and eat in places where it looks like they care about hygene.

    I am actually leaving today at around 3pm so you'll be rid of me soon. Im packed and wondering what im going to remember I forgot when im on the plane. Paradox? Yes and 4 hours sleep :)
