India

These are a few photos from my trip so far, but I haven't got a photo of my class, yet. I've got a small group of about 8 upper intermediate students, mostly people of Tibetan origin, but who were born locally. Actually, a majority of my class are girls, which is rather different from the classes in Manchester!
Mcleod Ganj is a wonderful little town, on a ridge at about 1700 metres. There are wonderful views from here, both up and down the valleys on either side. It's the base of the Dalai Lama, and as such attracts lots of visitors.
This is, so far, a wonderful trip, better than I could have imagined, and the weather helps, as it's beautiful and warm, even in the evenings. I'll post another bit of news in a week or two, and hopefully a picture of my class!

Don't you love the trousers?
