6 months in rugby paradise. A close examination of the travails of Our Hero as he stumbles from pub to pitch to thermal hotspring to dolphin swimming to zorbing to pub without any semblance of a rational plan. Saturday, September 17, 2005. Late Rugby Champs Pics. Yo guys here's my Irish rugby team. I have a pic where I'm in the shot as well but as it was taken by a hamfisted Welshman it is extremely blurry and not worth lookin at. Checkit:. Whatta bunch of rediculously good-looking Irishmen. Ah yes we ob...

The Subcontinent by Slacks: November 2012
http://thegoracle.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
The Subcontinent by Slacks. This is my job? In October I got to go to South Africa for a quick work trip with a slightly longer fun trip. So more for me than anyone else (but isn't that how all blogging is? Here's a few things not to forget:. Rugby with uncontested scrums. Creme Soda and Cane Rum. Kept going the wrong way. Kept hitting the windshield wipers. Giraffes on the side of the road. Rhino, baby rhino, impala. R600 bottle of wine. Stalking elephants on foot. Impala, zebra, wildebeast.

The Subcontinent by Slacks. This is my job? This is my job? So like everything else in India, work has been an experience. I'm very happy with team we have set up here and think they will be able to do a great job, but man I really wanted to have lunch on that lawn. Slaying the Taj Mahal. Indians: You Disgust Me. Why should people (other than Indians) care if they destroy their own environment? One answer is that India can be a beautiful place, and you might want to come here one day. But the real an...

The Subcontinent by Slacks: Indians: You Disgust Me

The Subcontinent by Slacks. This is my job? Indians: You Disgust Me. While I normally try to keep this pretty upbeat and fun (and parenthetical), I've decided to give myself one post per trip to get up on a soapbox and post about something that I think is important. This is it for this trip but if you're not inclined to read the whole thing, here is the short version: don't litter. Why should people (other than Indians) care if they destroy their own environment? What can be done? I heard an interesting ...

The Subcontinent by Slacks. This is my job? In which Steve changes the title of the blog to East Africa by Slacks and goes to, you guessed it, East Africa (Nairobi to be exact). The Navel of the World. The flight into Cusco on Friday was wonderful, after breaking through the clouds in Lima got some great views of the sun lit Andes. I stayed at the Amaru Hostal. Check Papayas, pineapple, oranges and aloe blended together in front of your eyes into a liter of smoothie for less than a dollar? Check Spices, ...

The Subcontinent by Slacks. This is my job? Why is this matatu going backwards? In one of those days where everything that can go wrong, will go wrong, here are some of the challenges of working in Africa. Which at 8 cents a minute is downright cheap. But hey, a bad day in Africa is still better than a good day in the office. The Rhmyenoceros, or, Disaster Averted. And what greeted us at the guest house? A troop of elephants or maybe some leopards? After about 5 minutes trying to find someone in charge, ...

The Subcontinent by Slacks. This is my job? Where in the world is Steve Gore? Big thanks to all the early birds that pointed out that Matt Lauer kicked off his annual world tour down here in BsAs. The video. Is pretty decent, the best part is either Matt Lauer on a moped or when he thanks the tango dancer in Italian (thats right, I'm judging people for their poor espanol). So where am I right now? A week ago we finally hit up the club scene which I actually really enjoyed. It went something like this:.

The Subcontinent by Slacks. This is my job? And so after two months in India, a last night riding around in an old Ambassador car and ten hours on a British Airways flight, I found myself in London on a beautifully sunny afternoon absolutely blown away by the contrasts. A population that (kinda) speaks English! Taxi drivers who know where they are going! Fauna that are leashed and cared for by their owners! Clean and maintained sidewalks, streets and gutters! A three day weekend! Number of days: 76.
