Bike Racing Fanatics and Die Hard Atheletes

Here in België, the people love cycling, the have a deep respect and cultural strength when supporting there atheletes. I am learning to appreciate this fanaticism. Tonight we are hosting a cycling party for some of our people to watch the Parijs-Roubaix race.
We hope Boonen wins as he just came in Second for the Ronde van Vlaanderen, I was on tv for that, pretty funny, this time helping with starters and desserts for some of our people.

Dear Melisa,

nice blog.
BUT
I've been reading now for 23 hours and 11 minutes and although it's all very interesting, I notice that my name isn't mentioned once in this blog.

For this reason I can't promote your blog to our friends.

What a shame.

Nevertheless I still think you're a very nice person, considering you're American.
Go on becoming a Belgian!
:-)

Winnik

PS: Next time Boonen wins!

From Ernakulam TO Orissa

Hallo~ as they say it here. I am Happy I bought My train Ticket to go North... I am stopping at Bhubanashwar, I spelled It wrondi am sure but the ticket is correct.. I will be leaving in February and Staying away for one month, I am happy to be going north, I am looking forward to a change of place and scenery and climate.. Oh boy the cold weather awaits me again.. it is 1 degree, Yep that's right.. only one degree.. burrrr considering i have been staying in 85- 100 degree southern India. I need some sweaters.. no worries i have layers to bundle up with.. going for now until then.. love auntie

onward but wait.. Great Tea Palour! You should Be here

As I discover new places to try, Let me be the first to recommend a great tea place. "Infinitea" On Cunningham road, next to my favorite Cyber palace and Travel agency. I must be in the business and Non tourist section because, well I can tell by the environment that I have been walking. All students and business class people milling on there way. flower shops and one way streets rather than the melee of oncoming and sideways going auto rickshaws.. they are fun . My Favorite mode of transportation. the wind ripping through my hair feels great. later cats. thanks m

UP North: made it from a 35 hour train ride, AGRA

Well I thought I was going to go to south India exclusively but, here I am In Agra. the Taj Mahal was A delight. I was sad and Calm and Amazed the environment is a host for so many world travelers.. many peoples and many culture rise to the occasion for a majestic viewing what a place.. I am glad SO GLAD I made it up here.. I am suppose to be 3000 kl south of here meeting up for the weeding party but >. WELL Plans change in INDIA... oh boy do they. I will be heading to Delhi tomorrow, and the Rajstan. But Dack to Cochi for the wedding in a flash.. Heres my advise: When you think your reality is as good as it gets.. try taking a different seat on the train or the bus and a whole new wolrds pops into view.. ALL MY Love and Peace... happy christmastime.. YOURS MELI
