So can't quite believe it, but somehow I've got to the end of India and am now here in the airport having arrived ridiculously early to go to Vietnam! These last two weeks have gone by so fast that Im struggling to remeber what exactly I got up to, but I had a great last week at the hospital and was given presents and a lovely send off by the children which was very touching.

Been to a couple of monuments and the like now, which has been great as previously, my only cultural experiences were the Korean festival and Scottish dancing which are not particuarly known for being authenti...

Hello!! was not planning to write anything just yet, but already has happened after 2 days I thought I might need to put something down for my own benefit as much as anybody elses!! I'm absolutely loving Delhi at the moment. Everyone is very friendly and laid back but there is so much noise, colour and smells all around that you could sit on the same street for a whole day and not get bored! the family I'm staying with are very lovely.
