Subject: Postcard from India (20th Nov)


For those of you missed my last message (I used an old postcard list
with outdated addresses), I'm in Pune India and having a great time.

I'll put these electronic postcards at
  http://www.anatomy.usyd.edu.au/travel/1998/clp/
If you want to send me mail, it's probably best to send it to
caaclp8@hotmail.com, which is a group account that will get checked more
often.  (Also, telnet may be less reliably available than web access.)

We spent the weekend at Eildon, east of Melbourne, as a "get to know one
another" and an introduction to community development.  Monday and part of
Tuesday was spent travelling - bus from Eildon to Melbourne airport, wait
there, plane to Singapore, four hours or more there, plane to Bangalore,
brief stop there, plane to Mumbai, wait for everyone else to get through
baggage/customs (I'm carrying just 6kg, all as hand luggage), then a
six hour bus trip to Pune.

Wednesday and Thursday were spent in lectures/briefings on India
(most this I was familiar with already) and the projects we are
visiting.  Today we split into groups of four to visit rural projects.
I'm travelling south to Miraj, an 8 hour train trip.  Most of the groups
have left already, but mine doesn't go till 1.30pm, which is why
I have some time to type at you again.

Danny.
