right well I am off o sri lanka for the day. Am leaving now (00:30) and flying out of chennai at 04:00. Arrive in sri lanka around 06:00ish, leg it to the Indian high commission, hand in form, hang around for god knows how long, collect visa, back to the airport and catch the 19:00 flight back reaching chennai at 9ish, then on to Minoti's place and then the 07:00 train out to Vellore for the weekend with Nix, Raoull, Minoti and Chiku.

Well, thats the plan anyway. There is abit of political termoil going on in sri lanka so that may prove interesting. The visa place may not issue me with a visa the same day which would mean the whole weekend in Colombo, possible. Oh well, fingers crossed.

Hope you all have a good weekend and shall post when I am back.

word safe

Photos from India

Nice on of the theatre. It doesn't look too big but it can hold over 150 sitting people..


Taken from the shallow end ( which is about 3 feet deep), you can see the dorms on the right hand side.


pool with theatre in background. The end nearest is the deep end and you can just about see "ACTS" written on the bottom, the eep end is over 8 feet deep, fansatic for diving, in actual fact i've dived off boththe railings on the bridge and jumped out of the tree you can just see on the left. in line with the bridge on the right is where the showers will go, one will have to shower before on enteres, plus, at the top of the nearest ladder you can see the foot dip. You can also see the pebble filled channel that, (when the pool overflows which it does constantly) channels all the water away ont the fields. Behind the theatre (between it and the perimeter wall) is where our 2 story water tank and filtration unit will go, it will ost another 2 grand.


Here we see the frame of the covered dining area with the kitchen painted white in the background (dorms to the left)


Here we have the doms. each building has 2 seperate rooms (with the entrances at the far right and far left) Each building has shower and toilet which are situated at the far the end.


Here we have a pic of the still unfinished seating area at the end of the path, it will have a few benches and a sand floor once it is completed. As you can see dorms to the left, pool to the right.


ACTS main entrace, explains itself really.


inside theatre, again self explanitory, big mirror to the left, marble window sills, lights etc.


Jaime and nalatumbi (worker) chilling out on the scaffold on the outsied of the perimeter wall. We were making the wall higher to house the showers for the pool you can see that section is higher than the rest of the wall.) God that scafolding is rickity.


big Buddha shrine (Colombo, sri lanka). very large buddha shrine made out of thousands of lihgts in colombo.
