A bus ride of a difference. In all our time in Nepal, we had never really explored the wilderness that was the bus-stop. Not just an everyday bus stop, but rather the behemoths that were trans-state buses. Since Nepal didn't have "states" per se, and well, it WAS Nepal, the buses were..erm...less behemoth-like and more http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/raffyisblack/~3/HFf3otvK4Nw/last-week-of-nepal-genesis.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (GazetteGuy)1<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?a=HFf3otvK4Nw:4OcVDJFBIiA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?a=HFf3otvK4Nw:4OcVDJFBIiA:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?a=HFf3otvK4Nw:4OcVDJFBIiA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?i=HFf3otvK4Nw:4OcVDJFBIiA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?a=HFf3otvK4Nw:4OcVDJFBIiA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?a=HFf3otvK4Nw:4OcVDJFBIiA:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?i=HFf3otvK4Nw:4OcVDJFBIiA:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?a=HFf3otvK4Nw:4OcVDJFBIiA:TzevzKxY174"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?d=TzevzKxY174" border="0"></img></a> </div>http://raffyisblack.blogspot.com/2008/09/last-week-of-nepal-genesis.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21805305.post-5348227551700600881Tue, 04 Nov 2008 11:58:00 +00002008-11-04T23:00:07.681+11:00everyday banterwhat the?That is all.http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/raffyisblack/~3/jRtQpgPhSrA/party-in-my-tummy.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (GazetteGuy)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?a=jRtQpgPhSrA:KULLLU8A0XM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?a=jRtQpgPhSrA:KULLLU8A0XM:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?a=jRtQpgPhSrA:KULLLU8A0XM:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?i=jRtQpgPhSrA:KULLLU8A0XM:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?a=jRtQpgPhSrA:KULLLU8A0XM:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?a=jRtQpgPhSrA:KULLLU8A0XM:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?i=jRtQpgPhSrA:KULLLU8A0XM:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?a=jRtQpgPhSrA:KULLLU8A0XM:TzevzKxY174"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/raffyisblack?d=TzevzKxY174" border="0"></img></a> </div>http://raffyisblack.blogspot.com/2008/11/party-in-my-tummy.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21805305.post-1115190113120167291Thu, 23 Oct 2008 12:43:00 +00002008-10-23T23:59:47.357+11:00photographyannouncementsAs I've posted before, lots of things + me being lazy have made updates quite sporadic as of late. But here are the fruits of the last few days worth of labour...3 entries into the Canon Photo5 competition. The basic premise? Canon sends you 5 objects in a nice recycle-friendly cardboard box. You take 5 photos- one photo for each object.
