For some reason before Christmas I thought it would be a good idea to schedule a three day meeting the same week that everyone got back from leave ... it was a bit of a rush getting ready for it but in the end it was great. I work with such a fantastic team. These are just the academics. There are many more of us!
Been a while since we had one of these. Looks a bit boring, but it's Howrah Bridge from Kolkata and in Hindi it says 'Howrah', as it should.
The construction opposite has made lots of progress while we've been away. See 60 days ago on Day 599 for a comparison. Now we have the marble cutting phase to look forward to. Can't wait.
Back in Delhi for Louie's birthday and a Christmas present opening bonanza.
We stay at the Phranakorn Norn Len guesthouse in Thewet in Bangkok. It was great. This was painted on the wall in our room. In the lobby area there are little boothes that have been made to look like old fashioned shops. It's hard to explain, but we really liked staying here.
We did a brilliant bike tour of Chinatown and Thonburi which is on the other side of the Chao Phraya River. There were about ten people including Louie on his own bike. It was really lovely.
