Wishing everyone a very drunken merry new year, missing you all but trying to get over it by being nasty to children beggars and bastard rip off rickshaw drivers (had quite a bad day yesterday walking around for 4 hours in the heat trying to find a room).
We are in Pondicherry at the moment, which as an old French town has a certain Je Ne Sais Quoi, and at least makes the guys urinating at the side of the road seem more normal.
We have booked ourselves into a swanky hotel, mainly as in India, New Year is quite a big thing and all the hotels are booked out, but also to make us feel better. We have also just booked into the newest poshest hotel in Pondi for their New Year party (5 days' budget). Salsa dancing, unlimited drink and a UK DJ Vrata upstairs (!!) so hopefully that will be fun. Eleanor is going to wear her silk dress that she had made in Madurai, she also might have to buy some shoes to go with them, as the lesbian sandals (she said it not me) don't really go. I plan to wear my lovely black silk trousers (also made in Madurai) that in a certain light look like leather (shut up El they are nice).
We also planning to hire out some scooters to take us to the beach tomorrow and we both plan to have a Ayurvedic massage (I hope to have two people at once massaging me mmmm!! K)
Side note
I (K) have only just finished reading The Life of Pi, which is a fantastic book to read anyway but even better as it starts off in Pondicherry. I really recommend it.
