I Hate The Ecuadorian Border.

Im in tumbes (25km south of Aguas Verdes, the crossing point for Ecuador). The town is ugly, noisy, incredibly smelly and full of of irritating taxi drivers, all of which im getting used to slowly. ive got another 6 hours here so id better get used to it fast… i apologise for misspellings, bad punctuation [...]

Me Throwing My Hat Into The Political Ring

Just for the books, he lost. Acuña and Bazan won, just as the taxi drivers told me.

these are some excerpts from spam “Ch34p 0nl!n3 f4rm4cy” emails i keep getting. in order to try and circumvent spamguards these emails contain random text. i dont know where the texts actually come from, but i think they give the emails a sort of darker edge… each paragraph or line is from a different email, [...]

Robbery

Well hip hip hooray, I finally got robbed yesterday. But before you hit that email account and start sending your concerned letters, let me explain the full story because its really quite funny. I went to Majorista with a friend to show him what its like, and Majorista has quite a bad reputation (quite rightly) [...]

A Humming Bird.

Its rather far away and indistinct, but thats because it was the size of my thumb and halfway up a palm tree. Its the only photo I’ve managed to get so far of the buggers, they’re just too speedy for me. Hence I didn’t get time to change from black and white to colour, but [...]

Phwoooaaarrr….

This Post Is Not Very Interesting.

Well thats my shiny new update out the window, theres a guy sitting at the computer where i store all of my photos so i cant actually post anything really new. not much new has happened either so i cant even regale you all with hilarious tales of my crazy life. the most interesting thing [...]

Peruvian Elections

The mayoral elections are coming up next week, and the race is beginning to hot up. its not a question of how many people your message reaches, or how many people agree with your manifesto, but rather how much total rubbish you can produce with your face on it. all the politicians are fat and [...]

Surfing

Slow days in huanchaco this week, the surf is down for the next four or five days so there is a sort of sleepy feeling among the local guys. ive set a date for starting to travel, the 28th of november, so that i can get to ecuador before my visa expires. then im going [...]

Still Alive

Sort of running through the internet cafe at the moment, so just a really quick post to say that yes, I am still alive, I hope you are all too. Thankyou so much to Anna for my lovely new shirt, I love it although the lady at my hostel keeps making gay jokes to me [...]

Quality Roads.

This is the road to Baptiste’s school.

Baptiste

His job in france is cleaning the windows of skyscrapers. What a nutter.

Packed Lunch, Peruvian Style

Look sweet? They taste better… A picture of the guinea pig pen in Baptiste’s school, by the way.

Me and a class

School

Look in the top right corner, i subtly slipped my gargantuan nose into the frame.

Veg Section Of Majorista

Little Girl Cheating

Baptiste’s School

This boy has some sort of dyslexia which means he can’t write etc, so he doesnt fit in well and no-one knows how to help him.

Cats For Sale

This cage was the size of a waiters tray, and had 10 or 12 kittens in it.

General Catch-Up

Sorry i havent really been putting much time into my blog the past few days, I´ve accidentally cultivated an addiction to youtube.com so whenever i get anywhere near a PC I end up watching videos of cats flushing toilets and the like. Curses on the evils of the internet. ive also started to spend almost [...]

More Majorista

I think he’s talking to the dead naked guinea pig.

Schoolboy

This boy just went crazy when he saw my camera, and ran round and round me until i showed him a picture of himself.

Pollo!

This is the schoolyard in Baptiste’s school, with the cooking fire in the background.

Jenga-d

This is the horrible moment when all those bricks come down and land in people’s beer.

Majorista

This cage contains, at left, a muscovy duck, and at right, a big tortoise. Well I suppose they’re not exactly going to eat each other, but look at the tortoise’s body language- facing the wall, arms outstretched. He’s clearly not happy with the situation.
