Anyway, I guess tame and quiet ain"t a bad thing! The night before we left Bangkok we went out for dinner with our friend Supong to catch up on a couple of potential partnerships. He took us to t nice restaurant that serves traditional Thai food. It was very different to the usual fare you get at a Thai restaurant; and ve... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=594707&go=bigkevandnell Sun, 14 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=593633&go=bigkevandnell Our last week in Bahrain was great as we caught up on writing reports and emails, attended some more programmes initiated by the church in Bahrain, socialized with friends over meals and rested.Helen was able to go to a Mainly Music programme the ladies had recently started. A Lebanese lady was there for the first time and loved it and wants to invite all her friends.

We had church on Friday, then Saturday had a lovely day with our kiwi friends in Bahrain and now it"s Sunday and our clocks are all messed up. Oh well, we"ll be back in NZ in about 11 days so we can catch up then.It"s been pretty interesting since we last updated you all.

Life has been pretty hectic and frustrating, I guess that describes it best. We"ve been in a few more beds. Met some amazing people again and learned a lot more about life here in Ethiopia.We are going to build a school! That"s the plan anyway, over the next few years. So if you know anyone who wants to invest in ed... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=589582&go=bigkevandnell Sat, 23 May 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=588433&go=bigkevandnell 0/10, how"s that, we hoped we would never write it. But it happened, bed 23a, 23b and 23c! 23a was the waiting area of Mumbai airport. We got to Mumbai OK from Bangalore, a bit late, but then after a little trek we found ourselves with about 6 hours to wait and not a bed or a hotel in sight. So Helen stayed awake and guarded the bags while Kevin tried to sleep with two rows of chairs pushed t... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=588433&go=bigkevandnell Mon, 18 May 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=586002&go=bigkevandnell Bed 22 rating, it will have to go high, we"ve slept well here in Bangalore. It"s much cooler so that helped..... so it will have to go at 9/10. We"ve slept in till 7:30 most mornings so hopefully we have some sleep stored up for tonight. Mmmm, we go to Bangalore airport and fly to Mumbai at 8:20 pm. We get in around 10 pm and then go over to the International airport. Unfortunately ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=586002&go=bigkevandnell Fri, 8 May 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=584879&go=bigkevandnell Oh boy, we"ve had an interesting few days. It"s Sunday and we"re sitting in Hyderabad airport on the way from Rajahmundry to Chennai to Bangalore. We were supposed to go direct from Rajahmundry to Chennai but the flight was cancelled. At least we"re in a nice airport with limited, 45 minutes free wireless internet.

We"re in Delhi having a day out sort of while the rest of the team has gone off to the Taj Mahal for a day trip. But back to the last few days.Night two in bed 17 did improve the rating to around 6/10. We slept well last night, Wednesday 22nd, mainly due to the lack of sleep the night before I guess. During th... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=583609&go=bigkevandnell Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=581988&go=bigkevandnell After being without the internet for 6 days it"s a real treat to be talking to you again. this is a bit longer as we"re been out of touch for a while.

A large parade is forming outside the hotel with many beautiful girls all being made up on the side of the street. There they go on their new pink bikes behind a portable shrine.
