Okay so Jason particularly asked for it - here's a picture or two more of me without hair. Go on, laugh it up -

I the middle of the operation, quite literally:

and one I insisted on getting because I knew it would make me look like a Romanian torture victim (it's a look I'm trying to cultivate):

A few days later, this just makes me look like someone with an irrational fear of camera lenses who is unble to hide his extra chin, but here goes anyway:

Still, the man next to me was in a worse state, this being Irish Jason at his formidable best after 2 bottles of whisky and a handful of industrial-grade tranquilisers:

Aaaaand a couple from my first night in Panaji, the state capital of Goa -

A Very Big Church (they have a lot of them here), called, I believe, The Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, a name so clunky and unnecessary that it ought to be elected to its own committee:

A tree that lost it's fight with a nest of ravenous wooden snakes, apparently:

There's that place with the silver Jesus statue - silver Jesus! What will they think of next. I see Buddha with a tie-dyed sarong and hemp sandals, myself:

Just in case that wasn't clear enough for you:

!!!

A very impressive temple to Hanuman the monkey god on an urban hillside in Panaji:

Some wheel thing at the side of the temple, possibly for torturing non-believers (okay I completely made that up):

The same temple's entrance down the hill:

And that's it. I can't write up anything more yet, and my internet fees here in Hampi are Rs. 50 per hour whereas they are 40 in Go and only 25 back in Panaji. So there; the worst computers and slowest connections in the place with the highest prices, oh well - T.I.I. - This Is India!
