Got a text message from Judit today to meet up for coffee this afternoon at the Boston Tea Party. I must have got into town at around 3pm or so and decided to waste a bit of time wandering round the city centre. I was getting a bit bored as most of the shops were closing at around 4pm and decided to wander towards the cathedral as you do and who was there but none other than Dawn French.

I overheard some people mention it was some special service for some cancer thingy, perhaps a cancer charity organisation. I must eavesdrop better next time to find out what's going on.

This is the best photo I managed to take at the time as Dawn had a habit of looking in a different direction whenever I got close or someone getting in the way when I was taking a snap. Still I'm quite happy with the shots I managed to take and for those interested I'll put some better quality ones up on my website.

I then headed off to meet Judit and John at the BTP for a cup of coffee.

A passage to India

Having returned from India a couple of weeks ago, I thought it would be a good idea to document what I did before my memory completely fails me. Links to the photos and videos are at the bottom of this article should you have no desire to read through my travel blog. I flew from London Heathrow to Kolkata (Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose) International Airport arriving in the early morning to be picked up by Yipi and my cousins. The flight arrived perfectly on time, and I must grudgingly admit that this British Airways flight was much improved from my previous experiences. I arrived in good spirits and only a little exhausted. On greeting them around 6am we make the journey to Serampore by car, which was quite interesting, especially being able to watch various festivals taking place en-route. I stayed at Serampore for a couple of days, which provided a good opportunity to catch up with relatives and see the festival in Rishra. We managed a day trip to Kolkata to see various attractions su...

It must be about time to add another entry to my blog as I haven't updated it since late last year. Now that I've finally got a few moments to write something I might as well explain what I've done recently. Since my last entry I visited Shanghai for 10 days to see friends and also do a bit of sightseeing. Though in all honesty it was very cold and wet there so we didn't visit too many places. It's not very often I go travelling half way round the world to visit somewhere which is colder than the UK. Still the food and company was good so I can't complain too much. I did discover a pretty good tune from Bruce Springsteen when watching some of the local TV in China. I wouldn't consider myself a fan of country and western, but this song did have me hooked. I also managed to visit some places not too far away from Shanghai. Suzhou is around an hour away from Shanghai by train and is a very picturesque city with some nice canals. I've heard people call it t...
