I've tried to kick start this blog about 3 times now but everytime i start i get distracted.
Anyways .....
Been on holiday recently so i thougth i'd share some of the photos with you guys.
Some are already up and i'll try and stick the rest later ( issues with Blogger ).
Where did we go ?
India- Jaipur, Taj Mahal, and Delhi 7 days
Bangladesh- Sylhet to visit relatives including my Nan who had a stroke 7 days
Thailand- Bangkok and Phukett ( one of the islands) 7days
Qatar- Doha ( Very Much like Dubai but more in its infancy) 3 days
plus had my bro, his mrs and my mum flew out of the Uk and we met up in ther Capital Dhaka.
Summary
India was very intresting to say the least but the hightlight was obviously Ther Taj Mahal.
Bangaldesh was fab just to meet realtives and to rekindle the love for the country.
Thailand beaches were very nice but after a while sand and sea get a bit irritating plus the food got to me espeicially since there are no real Halal options.
Qatar was nice but still needs a few years to catch up with Dubai but with its new airline i think that will happen sooner rather than latter.
Anyways apart from the holiday what else is happening ?
Finally we have pusuaed my old man to buy a house. So we (The family) bought a house in Essex.
I was apprensive at first but after few weeks i settled into the quiet life routine.
I love it hear and to top all that we have a garden with actual soil and a cheery tree :)
well the celebration was short lived as dad embarked on his 'DIY' project. That ment distroying the back garden and anhilating the mature garden incuding the trees. Story to be told later.
Anyways gotta dash and will catch up later.

Hero
Green on a Honda. Jackie Shrof or what. There is another pic with me ont he same bike but i decided not to put it up. Why ? cause i look like a monster on it. Looks as if i'm ridding a kiddy bike.
Boy climbing tree
The little kid on the tree is a local lad that went up to get some nice cocnuts for us.
Don't worry he is perfectly trained and if he did fall he would fall into our furki (bathing/water resovoir).
My uncle just paid his 10 tk ( 13p ) but i got green so go round the corner and sort him out with a little more.
Me and the Lungi
This was my fav passtime. Chulling out in my lungi with a nice cup of tea. Made me feel right at home.
If i had it my way i would have worn it all the time. But the family were dead agaisnt it in fear of unforseen circumstances that may suddenly occur.
Jungles of Madab, Sylhet, Bangladesh
Well jungle might be stretching it a little more like a dense forresty sort of area

Madab Khondo
This is the 'Famed' Madab Khondo. Its a small water fall surrounded lush jungle and wildlife.
Apparenlty its a protected site and to be honest it is kept spotless.
If your visiting Sylhet no doubt this would be on your list of things to do. Although not as impressive as something you may see in the tropics or maybe in the south of Bangladesh its still a nice day out especially since the water is so refreshing.
Me, Boz and Green swam upto the falls and back and they say that just beneth the falls is a forty foot drop. Its true that the water does get deep suddely and in the corner we were standing ontop of a tree but somehow i dont believe the hype.
If you are going take a dip you will love it.
We got the munchies
The food in desh is wonderfull especially the salad mmmmmmmm.
This pic was taken in my place.
