Hey All

Thanks so much for your messages on my blog! its really made my day haering from you all! Keep them coming!

Well I have met my host family the Loks. Mr Lok is so nice and he defo had a sense of humour since he named his children Rickel, Bickel and Nickel! In my house there are currently 10 other volenteers all from europe and either studying or qualifies physio's or medics. They are really nice people. My room is nice, I have a fan which is great and check me out even my own balcony! woo woo! The bathroom is very western with a normal toliet and shower! On my first day there Mr Lok took me a 3 others to another village to see some temples (he is christain thou not hindu, but he says they are pretty!). We went on local bus which was so cramped and smelly and there were chickns on it too! ha! The local people are really nice and always want to speak to you, to ask you how your day was. There know that you are volenteers at the hospital so I think they are extra nice to us. I got up at 5 o clock and did yoga with the locals! It nearlly killed me and I have never seen such flexible old ppl! Mr lok said that i need to keep ging so that my stomache gets smaller and I look nicer! ha ha ha! Bless him! I have only did that twice as have been ill for most of the week, but I exspected that. The local food is ok, but im glad im in the city for the night so I can have something western! I think I hate rice already! The hospital I work at is at the top of a mountain, not a hill as they describe oh no a mountain!!!! going up it nearlly killed me but coming down was a lot better! The views at the top over the paddy fields with the buffallo are amazing! I was sick when i got to the top and nearly fainted! God im unfit!

To get to the city today we took a local bus and sat on the top of it! Was were scary but less smelly! lol!

Im off site seeing this weekend so I should have lots of pictures to show you next weekend.

Love you's x x x x
