Hi everyone. It's been a while since our last update, but we still don't have any internet set up at home. We've been making quick visits to the Miraj Internet Cafe around the corner to take care of business, but that's it. This will have to do for an update for the next week or two: we have arrived, are well, and really looking forward to having contact with the outside world (phones, internet). That said, the local scenery is fantastic, as are the locals. The fish and chips are just dandy, but they're still fish and chips - much like pancakes, great at first, but by the time you're half done, you feel a little... heavy?

So, check in for a complete update (maybe a few segments) with pictures. Here's one, for now, of the downtown shopping centre here in Reading with the lovely Thames flowing through it.
