Hello. Picture time. So the first one is at the Shiva Festival in Hampi. Lots of candles. The next one is of me and Murali. He is the karate master. After that, you have me enjoying a nice tall one after a long day. Then we have me getting eaten by a tiger at the Royal Palace. After that, you see me eating a traditional indian meal on a banana leaf with my hands. And finaly , the Royal Palace. Last week, we took a train from hampi to banglore, stayed there for 2 days and then took an over night train to Mysore. That is where we are now and is where the palace is located. At the palace, i was gifted the opertunity to ride an elephant and a camel. It was pretty awesome. There both amazing animals. If you happen to be in India, I highly recomend doing this. There are amazing, huge, extrordenary, colorful markets here in Mysore. A specific Muslim market that we went to yesterday was very enjoyable. I bought some incense and some natural oils and some indian paints. Oh, and 3 new drawing books.

Hello. We went to the festival and to our suprise, found out that its not the sugar festival but the Shiva festival. And there is no candy, but lots of candles. :( It was still cool. We went for a couple of hours and there was just someone talking to whole time. The music started after we left. There werent and seats so everyone was sitting on the stone ground. There was thousands of people there. For some reason, everyone wanted me to take a picture of them. Oh ya, at the guest house we were staying at, I met another Levi from Belgium. I found out some interesting things about Belguim. The legal drinking age is 12 if your at home, 14 to purchase alcohal in a store, and 16 to drink in a bar. And the coffee shops are a little different. There actualy Joint shops. If you want a cup of tea or coffee, you would go to a Tea room. Oh and Joints are legal there. So, tonight im taking a train to bangolore. Its a 10 hour train ride. WE also saw a baby calf born and taking its first steps. There is this boy who walks around with a pet monkey and asks for money. We have seen him a couple of times and i always say hi to the monkey. This time, The monkey insisted on crimbing onto me. I think he wants me to take him. I wish i could. Dad, can I have a pet monkey?

Tonight is the sugar festival. Everyone stays up from sunset to sunrise. I Posted another post on the next page about whats going on so read that. Then tomorrow, i will be taking a train to banolore? I think it is bangalore.

Hello. Im still in anjuna on the beaches. Lots of cows living there. I got a water melon for them and they loved it. I had 15 cows following me. It was fun.

1st party in india

Hello. It was a fun night last night. There was a party i went to and there was a live band and they were playing sublime and bob marly and stuff like that. I met this old man who is going to teach me how to sleep on the water. Its a form of meditation. Thats what ill be doing today. Bye.

Hello! I am in anjuna, goa. Im in a hotel right on the arabian sea. I went to a huge flea market yesterday and went swimming alot. The water is so salty. Its like paridise. Im going to be here for about a week. Or more. Im just getting use to the fact that im actually in india. So whens the last time you saw a herd of cows on the beach? For me it was yesterday. The water is so warm. I was playing catch with five or six indian boys in ythe water yesterday. We started out using a coconut as a ball but some how we got a ball. It was fun. My mom and i met some interesting kashmires at the flea market. There very serious but nice. At the market, they had these stands with old tibetin things. This one lock was crazy. You would unscrew the bottom with a key, stick another key in the bottom that you unscrewed and twist that so it would seperate a little, stick another key and turn that until it stopped and that exposed the actual key hole. then finally you stuck a key in, turned once and it unlocked. Ill post again soon. I like hearing comments.

Hello. I leave to Ajuna tomorrow were I will stay for 1-2 weeks. I dont know, I dont really care how long, i just cant wait.
