Back from my holiday.

well I had a lovely time exploiting the working classes of a 3rd world country. got a lovely tan

i met loads of hippies. the majority of them middle class wanting to solve the world problems with love and positive energy.

as you may guess i found a few flaws in this way of changing things....

 

if you huged your boss would they give you a better wage?

 

if you smiled at a copper would they not pull out their telescopic baton?

 

if you asked nicely would the rulling class give up power?

 

no hippie.

 

everything we have achieved (workers rights, womens vote, black rights) has come from getting out on the streets.

 

 

some of the things we talked about.

-------------------------------------------------

 

hippy ''are you a buddhist?''

 

bff  ''no. i'm a skinhead''

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

hippy ''whats a wurzel?''

 

-------------------------------------------------- 

hippy ''what is fascism?''

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

bff  ''where are you to?''

 

hippy  ''what two? i'm on my own.''

 

 

i wrote this after seeing a cockney arguing with a shopkeeper. she wanted to buy a bottle of rum which was priced at 110rs (£1.54) but was charging her 20rs (28p) extra because she was a tourist.

she came out with the classic line of ''i'm not a tourist. i'm traveling!''

 

 

 

i know i may be coming across negitive about the whole thing,but i did have alot of fun aswell.

having 3 weeks of work should never be moaned about, nor 34 degrees or having beautiful curry every day.

 

india is a lovely place. so try it out. it's alot cheaper than going to spain for 3 weeks.

I was in the south. Lots of hippys about. I think cause it was my 3rd time there I started to take it for granted. But it is a beautiful country.
Where else can you get breakfast (Pow baji) for 9rs.Lovely.
How long are you out there for?

Got here on the 6th March and we'll be leaving on the 1st June. Currently in Kolkata doin a bit of teaching and then next week we fly to Bengaluru. The people here are so friendly, today we were playing cricket with some of the locals and they were happy to let us play even though we speak fuckall Bengali. Seen a few hippies here and there although they ignore our presence. No big loss particularly.
