Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, bliss. My life is semi normal again. They had marmalade at the corner store. Phew!!!! I feel much better now. Today we went to the Government Art College to talk to the students about the courses we are running. Well, nothing over here is quite the way you imagine it. When the staff said that we would be giving our presentation in an auditorium I imagined something like, say one of the ones at the University or even the one at Burnside High. But, oh no. Try a WW2 air raid shelter that’s only got light in it because some of the windows haven’t got black paint on them. (Worn of with age) Well, that’s what it reminded me of. I didn’t look around to much. I saw one area of the ceiling that looked about ready to collapse. It was about then I said to myself, just look down Colin, just look down.

The occasion was a lot of fun. The students that turned up seemed to enjoy themselves. They had a competition afterwards where they had a chance to win an iPod. They were given a brief for an imaginary up coming TV show. They had to design the animated characters for the show.

This was some event. There were Press cameras and reporters there. (Making quite a bit of noise I might add.) This dear old lady wondered in part the way through Ashutosh’s presentation and parked herself in the front row. Now, in this case I’m really talking old. She’s probably as old as Ghandi and just as handsome. Not sure why she was there, but not long after she arrived, the student’s tutor asked her to leave. He he, never a dull moment.
