My latest fad!! Rajasthani soldiers…
For those who know me this won’t come too much as a surprise: difficulty does not prevent me from doing anything. Importing a Fatboy mattress from France?? It was actually quite tough because though it was light, the size of the carton was too big so Air France wanted to charge me 200€. So I emptied the beans in plastic bags, put the plastic bags in cartons and sticked the cartons together to have only 3 pieces!!
Importing a cat from Greece?? No problem…

Arachnid story
First pee break in Assam.
First encounter…
This lady was not moving so I decided to pee anyways – but askew, in order to watch her.
Two days later, on Majuli island.
We are exploring the monastery guest house: we have to pump the water and the loo is Indian.
So be it, we can accommodate! I go for a pee. Shit, I forgot to bring toilet paper. Well, it’s not like it is the first time, I will use water… I go to reach for the bucket and then, a huge spider jumps. And here I am, with my pants on my ankle, a monster standing between the door and me. I managed to get out and elected a new toilet: nature!!
