Sometimes my sister sends me a proof of her latest drawing
Sometimes that drawing makes me fall off my seat
This was one of those times

INDIA NEWS: an update

Leopold Cafe in Mumbai

An email from my friends who were in Mumbai during the chaos.

hellooo!
well today we leave Mumbai (and i love this place!) to go to Punjab, on a 29hr train ride :-( reeeaalllly not looking forward to this at all!
a really cool interesting place in Mumbai is Leopold cafe, we were allowed back into south Mumbai yesterday as the shootings were over and the streets were cleaned up so we thought we may as well go check out the Taj building anyway, but it really was all a bit sad. anyway in this cafe there were all these news readers and photographers, it was strange and then we found all these bullet marks in the building! 8 ppl died in the cafe during the attack and that was the first day it had been opened since. there was such a buzz in the tragedy of it all.

I'm going to live my India experience through them, until I make it over there myself (which is looking like happening late next year).

I'll share some of the funnier emails with you guys!

For now I'm spending Christmas with my family, better start my Christmas shopping...eeek!
