The camp thing

Cake eyes,

This post is about the camp thingy of death.

On the way to the camp: A bad photo of a temple. There s a lot of them , i ll shoot better ones

The indian guy singing is an interesting character. He’s super shy and has a stammer , he completely loses it when he sings though : )

At the camp:

As I said It was both awesome and boring. Like we had some activities that could have been pretty sweet but put like this, in this work analyze shit, it got really annoying sometime.
The first one that we did, was to be in 2 teams and make the longest line possible with everything we had on us at that moment, ourselve included. So basically what happened, is that most of us ended in boxers to make the longer line… And it was a surprisingly good way to break distance with people you dont know !

So even if it sounds strange, this game was actually a good one and had the desired effect.

After that we were showed our rooms.

my place

The toilets were really clean. Rare and precious.

Me and ashok taking pictures everywhere

I got a chance to call you with the help of that guy. He was turning the phone on, check if there was a signal, turn it off. move a bit and do the same thing again. Apparently this exact spot is the only place with a half signal around.

this is a photo of a monkey. Monkeys are of the monkey family. they can jump and run and scream pretty well.

Hmm i mainly made blurry photos. Check theo’s there’s some wonderful ones of those monkeys.

After discovering the place was infested with monkeys, crocodiles and ants ( its like the whole place was alive, you couldnt really put your eyes on an immobile space. There was always black spots running around -and  ants are about half an inch long here ) we got lunch.

We did some stone... skipping ? Dun remember the name at all, but i did a way better score this time. Something like 10 rebounds. YOU PROUD OF ME BRABEH ?

And then went to the next activities:
Some stupid repeat action thing and then the bridge building activity. This one was about sharing skills ( 3 teams with different abilities that we had to share to make the bridge ) but the exercise wasnt very well made and the skills not equal. Anyway the creation of the bridge was slow, chaotic and boring. and rainy too.
Bleah. The crossing was fun though: )   ( so about 5 minutes of fun for 4 hours of boredom )

There is a lot of emotion in this pic. Enjoy.

The lights definitely adds a dramatic sweetness.

The evening was fun: good food around a campfire. Surprisingly, no mosquitoes. Kapz ( an indian ) had brought his guitar and greg played some nice old school tunes with it.

before everybody came on the ropes, i spent some quiet, relaxing time there with vincent. Its really cool to hang out in a giant hamac in a silent night.

Day 2

In the morning we did the treking thing and then YAY water ride on crocodiles !

here, the guide is having fun making the boat turn around.

Sorry babe for the lame quality. There’s not much to see in it… We were quite lucky in my boat and didnt get too wet compared to others. God saves my camera !

After that, the next activity was to… jump from a tree. A 30 feet high branch of a tree. With securities of course. I wish I had some battery at this time to show you that… ( dont hit me ! I forgot to refill it before leaving ! ). The goal was also to hit some water bottles from while jumping to get “points”.
Around the cool jump , this was another annoying team / working abilities thing, and we had to wait like 3 hours for 2 minutes of jump. The jump went fine though , except that I left my long arms too widely open, ripped down the cord of a bottle, and had my arm a bit burned on the security rope. Nothing big though.

Another lunch. And finally the last activity: Some scavenger hunt. We had some general items to find like ” something red. something sticky ” and had to find any stuff that would fit, while being creative. My team finished last, not much else to say…

4 pm, we finally took the bus… only to get stuck in traffic for 3 hours.

Hmmmyeah it was still a bit of fun. I’m glad I saw some huge crocodiles and that I could leave Bangalore a bit  :B
