What a ballin' session i had today. I've become quite good at being on a basketball court looking like i'm influencing the game in a positive manner, without actually straining myself either physically or mentally. Though there was an occasion where big Joseph, a 14 year old boy of African descent, took me on the outside one on one. It was absolutely no contest, though thankfully he lacked the skill to go with his raw speed and power so missed a blindingly simple opportunity to score and i kept up my reputation as the best defensive player on the court.
I'm in Tibet right now, well, at least a Tibetan colony in India.
I really like these Tibetans. They're characters. For what it's worth I really think Tibet should be freed. I doubt there are any oppressive Chinese rulers keeping up to date on my Indian adventure but if you are reading this, I really think these Tibetans should get a shot at running their own country. This particular internet cafe has played a blend of reggae, hip-hop and darius danesh since i've been in here. What's not to love?
Anyway, i've been in India for 6 weeks today! It's felt like 4 years.
But anyway, the sun has become more bearable as has the potent, potent smell of the subcontinent.
Last night I went to dinner at Sunil's house. Sunil is a high school teacher, his wife prepared a meal tailored specifically to my dietary desires. Sunil is probably the nicest 28 year old indian man i've met, he is of African descent. Bizarrely, i've found myself connecting with those of the Siddi tribe much better than the native indians. The Siddi's are african, so i think that must be due to my evident afro-carribean roots.
Anyway, Sunil is a monster of a man, probably the muscular man i've seen in India, we really are two peas in a pod. And his wife is the best cook in Mundgod. I've never eaten so much food in all my time. They were almost tears of culinary satisfaction.
Haha, to be honest, i've not got much more to report today, but thanks for reading anyway. x ps. oh and i got back from Goa on saturday after an 8 hour bus journey. Worst bus ever. Almost killed my back.
