]]> Comment on A short post, to be expanded..! by Alison http://edubuzz.org/blogs/katierevell/2007/06/29/56/#comment-280 Alison Tue, 03 Jul 2007 10:57:10 +0000 http://edubuzz.org/blogs/katierevell/2007/06/29/56/#comment-280 Hi Katie, a couple of things are interesting in your last posting. Firstly the idea of being able to plot countries and in fact continents on the map is a curious one. I suppose a lot of it depends on the perceived "need" to be able to do so. I tend to look at maps in detail only if I know I am visiting that country and I know my geography is pretty dire (that's being generous). The same can be said for a lot of Americans as I know one of the major TV stations (CNN I think) did a geography test on Middle Eastern countries where US troops were stationed and I think most viewers got them all hopelessly wrong. The second issue of marriage and a dowry I find fascinating. I know my mother would have sold me off asap if she could have done! One less mouth to feed and a new TV instead - bargain in her eyes! It does make you realise the vast difference in cultures that exists across the world with some "arranged" marriages working very well especially when married at such a young age. I doubt if it would work in our society although saying that, you should see the guy Liz and Phil have arranged for you when you come back........... take care and see you soon!!!

Much like here then, with added heat! We went for a walk this evening and togged out in our fleeces! Not much evidence of global warming here but lots of climate change! Take care Liz Hi Katie

Thankfully by that point my feet had recovered from the first trek. The flag is some Hindu thing; of course the (currently frozen) lake to which we trekked had been declared sacred and a little shrine erected, replete with trident (sign of Shiva) and said flag. x Not flipflops, but not much better: basically glorified rubber boots.

She found Indian cities chaotic, teeming, noisey, smelly - generally quite mad as we did, but actually also relaxing! People and cows and traffic just go with the flow and don't get hassled - no rage, as she found in other teeming cities like Hong Kong. I know what she means. Polls close shortly so I'll let you know how the face of Scottish politics - local and national - changes, when the results are available; could be long night! Watch out for France on Sunday too. Enjoy the mountains! Liz xxx Hi Katie
